Conversion of Asbury Church into Righteous Babe Headquarters,
Music Venue, & Contemporary Arts Center

This landmark project in downtown Buffalo involved the complete restoration of a historic church into a performing arts center for locally-born artist Ani DiFranco.

Highlights of the exterior work include a new slate roof, re-pointing of all the masonry, and restoration of stained glass. Pictures above demonstrate the extensive scaffolding system that was required to finish the brick work on the steeple.

On the interior, Lehigh is installing a new geothermal heating and cooling system and new stairway. All of the woodwork throughout the church will be refinished, and the existing basement has been excavated to increase ceiling height.
