Before Conversion

Historic adaptive reuse of St. Joseph's Church in Woburn, MA to 6 residential townhouse units.  The Church was slated for demolition in 2012.  John Flaherty, the developer, hired Seger Architects to provide a feasibility study for residential use.  After numerous City approvals the final design was approved and widely accepted by the City of Woburn. Construction included the inter-floor of the sanctuary and the column structure proved to be adaptable for 6 townhouse units within the building.  Each unit has 3 floors with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 1,500 s.f.  The project was completed in 2017.
