One of the most rewarding challenges in architecture is adding something new to a historic building in a way that feels as though it has always belonged there.
At St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in McComb, Mississippi, our team was tasked with designing a new parking area, fencing, and a porte cochere while honoring the character and architectural language of this beautiful church.
Driving by today and seeing the completed work, we’re proud of how naturally the new construction has become part of the existing campus. From the brick and clay tile roof to the arches and detailing, every decision was made with one goal in mind - not for the addition to stand out, but for it to belong.
We are deeply grateful to St. Alphonsus Catholic Church for trusting PryorMorrow with such a meaningful project. It has been a privilege to contribute to a place rooted in history, faith, and community.
Sometimes the best compliment for a new addition to an old building is simply:
“Wasn’t that always there?”
Thank you, St. Alphonsus, for allowing us to be a small part of your story.
