Renovated Church in Canton
Dec 10, 2009
Tom and Ava Love recently purchased an old First Congregational Church in Canton and are renovating it into a one-bedroom cottage for themselves.

Pews used to fill the spaces where family will gather and dinners will be served. -
The floors were stripped of glue from the carpets and two coats of finish were applied to restore the original hardwood. -
A working fireplace, old world Welsh mantel and a 1920s chandelier add warmth to the open spaces of the church. -
While maintaining much of the 100-year-old craftsmanship, Tom and Ava couldn't resist adding modern appeal to the bathroom and lighting. -
The old bell still sits in the tower. -
The restored stained glass with afternoon lighting. -
The tall restored windows allow for natural light that fills the large open spaces.
