Trinity Lutheran Church Post Katrina Renovations

New Orleans, LA
Trinity Lutheran Church is the oldest Lutheran church on the New Orleans Westbank and noted as the fourth oldest Lutheran church in the City of New Orleans.  Following
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita Landis was contracted to repair the structure. The altar suffered major damage. The front steeple and bell tower were blown off, and a historic stained glass window that once adorned the front window was broken. The wood floors had begun to warp and buckle due to weathering the absorption of storm rains, a damaged roof and the sweltering heat and humidity Louisiana summers bring. The electrical system was ruined and had to be replaced and brought up to code. Much of the church’s millwork needed to be repaired or replaced. The aggressive schedule for the project set to restore and repair the church was only 180 days.
