| dc.description.abstract | The First Christian Advent Church is a late Carpenters Gothic building constructed in John Day, Oregon in 1900. The building was designed and possibly built by Samuel Bayliss Hope, about whom little is known. The church is most remarkable for the profusion of ornament on its exterior and interior. The moldings are a very late manifestation of hand-planed decoration. This study documents the building, and also makes extensive recommendations for its restoration. The church is in moderately good condition both physically and historically, though there_ are numerous problems which will require intervention. Recommendations are intended to return the building to its 1900 appearance. The guidelines are technical in nature, and include the re-milling of moldings, reinforcement of the roof structure, foundation wall repair, and refinishing of interior surfaces. | en_US |
