Clear Creek: East Residence Wing Nearing Completion

Construction is nearing completion for the East Residence Wing at Our Lady of the Annunciation Abbey of Clear Creek. Mr Heyer led architecture students from Benedictine College on a tour of the construction site last week. The students were led by Professor John Haigh who worked with the late Thomas Gordon Smith on earlier phases of the Monastery. Students learned about traditional load-bearing masonry in a modern construction setting. George Carpenter, stone carver & blacksmith for the monastery, also shared thoughts on his work at the main entry tympanum stone carving.
