Church Alcove Gate and Railings
New Ironwork in Gothic Revival Style

Under construction in 1865 and dedicated in 1875, St. Dominic Church was designed by P.C Keely, architect of nearly 600 Roman Catholic churches and buildings, including every 19th C. Catholic cathedral in New England.

The church was gutted by fire in 1885, and little is known of any original interior ironwork. Mid 20th C. renovations enclosed the alcove with a planar oak veneer partition and door. Brushed steel and brass Mid-Century Modern railings were installed in some chapels.

A new alcove gate and several chapel railings were designed in Gothic Revival style by McCrery Architects and forged by master blacksmith Lee Badger beginning in 2016.
