Dad spent the day doing a thorough final inspection for the new Temecula Stake Center. The "saints" will go marching in for their first meetings this coming weekend. It is wonderful to have it come to this fruition after the 4 1/2 years we have been working on it. There were about 2 years to deal with neighborhood oppostion, hearings and meetings with the Mayor and others to mitigate the neighbor's issues. Then it was about a year to get it through plan check and bid. Finally it has been under construction for about 14 months. The Stake desperately needs it as they have been without a Stake Center since they were created nearly 4 years ago. They will immediately move in 3 large wards and a branch.The unique steeple (cupola) is due to a height restriction for the site. The standard spire was twice too high so Cornwall Associates custom designed a copper topped dome to be compatible with the LDS standard plan colonial architecture.
p.s. This is Dad's first posted picture taken with his new cell phone camera. Not bad, not bad at all.
Dad, WOW!!! I remember hearing about you driving to Temecula all the time. It is nice to see why. I really like that dome top. It gives the building some character. It remindes me of the Nauvoo temple.
ReplyDeleteJob well done CORNWALL ASSOICATES and by the way that is one cool cell phone. (Can I get it when you retire it?)
This project has been a long time in coming and the end result is looking beautiful. Three cheers for dad - hip hip hooray!!
ReplyDeleteHey Mom, that was only one cheer.
ReplyDeleteHip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray, how about that? I thought that it deserves one extra with the one that Mom started. Dad that looks great I am glad to see that it is finally done. I too have heard much talk of Temecula, I don't know if it was directly related but I know it has been in the works for some time. I am glad that those saints can enjoy it. Way to go Dad corn, and Archtect Ali fabulous he aleabahbuah......
ReplyDeleteI am here at Mrs. Cornwalls classroom today, all the people to give me instruction at the Gannons are at the Hospital taking care of Beth, so there was no one to give me tasks to accomplish. I have clean up the classroom, decortated for Valentines Day, and made some Copies. I was given a little break so I decided to see how the rest of the Cornwalls and Andersons were doing.
Doesn't Hip (1) Hip (2) Hooray (3) count as three cheers for dad??? Robb you better hope your friend Ali doesn't read the blog!! We love your fun comments.
ReplyDeleteNO Mom. That counts as 3 one thirds of a cheer.
