First Church
Oklahoma City

This is the event that forced Advanced Masonry to complete this self supporting cast stone entry. The supplier who began the job quit business before its completion. When faced with contractual and moral obligation to complete the church so that they could move back into their facility, which replaced the sanctuary damaged in the Murray building bombing. We not only completed the project but managed to do so on time for the ceremonial reentry to the church on Easter Sunday.

In order to accomplish this we had to hire the craftsmen from the previous business. These craftsmen had a combined work experience in the cast stone and architectural precast business of over 100 years. These craftsmen are the foundation on which we built Structural Stone. They are still with us today going stronger than ever.

Later, in the second phase of restoration of the original sanctuary Structural Stone was called upon not only to create cast stone to match the 100 year old and weathered limestone pieces, but to create bricks from cast stone to match the color of the special accent brick which could not be found from clay brick sources.
