Thanks for sharing this story with us about the renewal of a little-known Shingle Style Burnham and Root church. Please don't forget that Burham and Root did design one masonry church in the Richardsonian Romanesque style--St. Gabriel's at 45th and Lowe. Althogh its entry way has been altered and its tower has been shortened, it is a beautiful expression of Root's fascination with Richardson, as you pointed out.
