Bethel Lutheran Church
Bethel Lutheran Church in Templeton is a 120 year old historic brick building that was in need of seismic retrofitting. Working with engineers, Charlie Main and his team, reinforced the existing roof structure and roof to wall connections. Following the San Simeon earthquake, The Main Company returned to fix an exterior wall that had cracked. This repair required that the beautiful stained glass windows in the Church be removed and replaced and a complex curved dome over the pulpit be rebuilt. During the entire retrofitting and repair activities the Church remained open to the congregation for worship.
