This fall at the Rural Studio we, the second year students, have been given the task of relocating a c.1854 church, St. Luke’s Episcopal, from its current site in Martin Station to Old Cahawba Park, the site of Alabama’s first capital and the church’s original location. Throughout this semester we will study and document the church, as well as, create a cataloging system to be used as we dismantle the building and store the pieces. We will also propose a master plan for the church’s relationship to the rest of the park and its newfound purpose upon relocation. By the end of the semester we hope to have the new foundation poured, the church disassembled, and the pieces cataloged and stored to enable the spring ’07 class to rebuild the church based on the cataloging and documentation system we will have developed.
