Forget the X-Y offsets. Spawned building on top of church.
I build shit like this in Fallout 4.
Is this another one of those “by law, the addition has to look visibly distinct from the historical structure” renovations?
Same thing that allegedly happened to this one?
Yeaggghhhh Caldwell Towerrrrr
Weird, that one went so far in the wrong direction it circled back around and I kinda like it.
Before building work started I guarantee they promised "A tasteful renovation in keeping with the structure’s historical aesthetic"🙄
That was my comment haha
This could have been a really cool reno with a better roof line and some vertical siding that tied in the butresses. Instead, it just looks cheap.
Better than just demolishing the church, I guess, but they could have invested a little more into the materials and design and made it blend with the original facade better. Don’t just build a square vinyl box.
there are many churches in Europe who were amputated or completely destroyed by American aerial bombings. Some were hastily rebuilt with cement and these hasty renovations after the WW2 have no architectural or historical value 🤷
I’m guessing this picture isn’t of Europe. There’s a stroad, as well as minivans and SUVs. I would guess this is North America. Probably the US, but that’s just because I believe our neighbors to the north have a bit more class than this monstrosity indicates.

I’ve heard that leaving one wall up like this classifies a construction project as a renovation. I’m guessing this was done because it was cheaper or it’s in a historic district? Idk
I’ve heard the same. If a property is ‘renovated’, it retains the same value, tax wise, no matter how much larger the renovated building is.
Not sure how this plays out with a formerly tax exempt property like a church once it get converted into a non-tax exempt property such as a residential apartment building.
