Metropolitan AME Church

One of our current restoration projects, the Metropolitan AME Church in Washington, DC, has been added to the National Trust for Historic Preservation's 2010 11 Most Endangered List. The church is renowned for it's architecture and stained glass windows, as well as its importance to the national AME church. The building is the mother church of the AME faith. While the building's location was important, as it placed it in the center of Washington DC, that location is now a detriment, as surrounding construction projects and larger buildings have contributed to structural problems with the church. WEI has been assisting the congregation with some of these problems but the scope of the damage will require much more extensive work.
