Saint Sebastian Catholic Church, founded in 1911 to serve Milwaukee’s growing German Catholic community, has been a cornerstone of faith and education in the area for over a century. The parish grew rapidly, with early school buildings built to attract families and a new chapel completed in 1919. By 1930, the French Gothic-style church was completed, accommodating over 1,100 worshippers and serving as a hub for the community through the Great Depression and World War II. Subsequent decades saw expansions to the school and parish facilities, ensuring St. Sebastian remained a vibrant presence for generations of families. Currently, Saint Sebastian is undergoing a multi-year complete facade restoration. Masonry Restoration, Inc. Is performing extensive facade cleaning, rebuilding of the Lannon stone veneer, structural concrete restoration and repointing of the bell tower, structural steel repairs to precast panel walls, and complete sealant replacement, preserving both the historic character and long-term durability of this landmark church.
Our first step was a thorough assessment. Crews completed Masonry Rebuilding, Structural Steel Repair, Repointing, Facade Cleaning, Stone and Terra Cotta Restoration, Membranes and Coatings, Structural Concrete Repair, Precast Panel Repair to restore stability and improve exterior condition. These efforts improved the stability and durability of the building envelope.
By reinforcing deteriorated components, the project improved long-term exterior performance.
