CHESHIRE, Conn. - TelAve -- John Canning & Co. is honored to receive the Historic Preservation 2023 Bulfinch Awards from the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art (ICAA) New England Chapter for our work at St. Mary- St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Boston, MA.

The Institute of Classical Architecture & Art is a nonprofit organization that works through advocacy, education, and publication to further the classical tradition in urbanism, architecture, and the allied arts.  The New England chapter's Bulfinch Awards are bestowed upon architects, designers, and industry professionals of superior merit for notable projects each year.

The Bulfinch Awards are hosted by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art New England Chapter (ICAA New England) and recognize practitioners from across the nation who are committed to promoting excellence in the classical tradition and allied arts within New England. All eligible projects work toward building upon the legacy of Boston's early Federal architect, Charles Bulfinch, who is widely regarded to be the first native-born American to work in the field professionally. Initiated in 2010 and modeled on the ICAA's Arthur Ross Awards, the New England Bulfinch Awards program is an annual competition.

A true work of church architecture, this remarkable church in Boston, St. Mary's was one of the last important works of church architect Patrick C. Keely who designed this church in the Gothic Revival style in 1882. The architecture throughout the church consists of painted decoration, ornamental plaster, ornamental wood ceilings with elaborate hammerbeams, murals, sculptures, and stained glass.

The goal of the project was to restore the originally desired intent and bring back the color palette, the incredible details and feel of the space.  This project involved a comprehensive finish restoration by John Canning & Co. that included decorative painting, gold leafing, glazing, polychrome finishes, wood finishes, art conservation, metal restoration of fixtures, as well as plaster repair and replacement including some ornamental plaster.
Our Canning team successfully restored this historic church with assistance from Gianfranco Pocobene for art conservation and the pastor of St. Mary -St. Catherine of Siena, Rev. James J. Ronan, who was an absolute pleasure to work with.
