St George Cathedral and the Albanian Archdiocese recently had a ceremony to dedicate the newly renovated chancery and offices at 517 East Broadway. Former Mayor Ray Flynn made a speech at the ceremony. The dedication was a success and was very well received by the parishoners. From Left to Right - Greg Testa, Tony Testa, Tim Hurley

The full bathroom was totally remodeled. The tub was replaced with a neo angle shower in a new location. The hanging sink was replaced with a pedestal sink. The old metal window was replaced with an energy efficient window. New marble floor was installed. The ceiling was raised and a chair rail was installed on the walls.

Original bathroom

New bathroom - mirror above sink and cabinet above the toilet will be installed once they arrive.

Kitchen Remodel

The kitchen was totally remodeled and expanded. The half bath and pantry were removed to allow for more kitchen space, mainly for cabinets. One old window was found boarded up behind the pantry wall. A new window was installed to let more light into the kitchen. Kitchen includes new stained cabinets, granite countertop, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, cooktop/oven, new hardwood flooring (oak with Brazilian Cherry inlay border).

Just in case you forgot what the old kitchen looked like.

Old cooktop/stove. This was the extent of the old kitchen.

Now the new kitchen......

And now the final product................

Cabinet knobs. Goal was to compliment the antique glass door knobs throughout the offices.

I heard Lauren's mother is a wonderful cook. We will have to get her over to the kitchen to Christen it.
