For over a century, Conrad Schmitt Studios has advanced a tradition of excellence in artistry and craftsmanship. The Studio was founded in Milwaukee in 1889 by Conrad Schmitt, the son of Bavarian immigrants. The firm remained in the Schmitt family until 1953, at which time it was purchased by long-time employee, Bernard O. Today, the third generation of the Gruenke family owns and operates the company, a reflection of the dedication and longevity which typifies the Conrad Schmitt Studios.

During the restoration of the St. Joseph County Courthouse rotunda, our team uncovered an elaborate historic decorative scheme concealed beneath generations of overpaint, including intricate scrollwork, faux bois finishes, and richly detailed ornamental panels. Through traditional decorative painting techniques and meticulous plaster restoration, these long-lost details were brought back to life based on historic evidence. The project also included the conservation of six historic murals, restoring their original color, depth, and clarity after decades of accumulated varnish and deterioration. Swipe to see how craftsmanship, conservation, and historic research transformed this remarkable space.

Built in 1896 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the historic rotunda of the St. Joseph County Courthouse has been restored to honor its original grandeur. We were honored to partner with the St. Joseph County Board of Commissioners to revitalize this remarkable civic space with a focus on historical accuracy. Our team restored the historic paint schemes and ornamental stenciling throughout the rotunda, completed extensive plaster repairs, and carefully conserved the original murals, breathing new life into a treasured architectural landmark.

A historic space renewed for worship. Originally established in 1947, the Littleton Monastery of the Discalced Nuns of the Order of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel was created within the former home of renowned Denver architect Jacques Benedict. We were honored to collaborate with Integration Design Group to help reimagine this sacred space through new liturgical decoration and custom stained-glass windows designed and crafted by our artists. The sanctuary window depicts Christ’s Crucifixion, while the nave windows feature Our Lady with Carmelites, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, St. Simon Stock, Pentecost, the Blessed Trinity with St. Teresa and John, and St. Elias. Swipe through to see the transformation of this beautiful monastery chapel!

A closer look at All Souls Catholic Church in Englewood, Colorado. There are 9 new stained glass windows within the nave, with each window depicting a different biblical narrative that honors the souls in Purgatory who reached salvation through Christ. Those narratives include the Paralytic in the Temple, Assumption of Mary, Raising of Lazarus, Mary Magdeline Repents, when a woman by the name of Rahab Saves Joshua, The Bronze Serpent, David’s Repentance, the Presentation in the Temple, and Christ stepping on the Serpent. Uniting the collection are symbolic floral borders featuring magnolias for enduring faith and beauty, lilies for purity, and dogwood flowers representing the crucifixion, details that bring deeper meaning and connection to the sacred space.

Our team at Conrad Schmitt Studios was honored to help revive the historic beauty of St. Charles Catholic Church in Burlington, Wisconsin, through newly designed murals and liturgical decoration. Built in 1910, the church once featured five murals above the sanctuary that were removed during a 1982 renovation. In an effort to reconnect with the parish’s history, the Renovation Committee entrusted our team with recreating these sacred works using historic documentation and archival references. The restored murals depict Christ surrounded by the Four Evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, each accompanied by their traditional Tetramorphic symbol: the man, lion, ox, and eagle, as described in Revelation 4:7. Swipe to the second image here to see our renderings alongside the historic references, thoughtfully designed to honor the original character and spiritual significance of the space.

A closer look at St. Bernadette Catholic Church reveals a space rich in purpose and meaning. Symbolic motifs include flowering vines, interwoven crosses, and Romanesque scrollwork combine to evoke the Garden of Heaven, perfection, and paradise. Nine large ceiling murals bring to life scenes from Christ and the saints, with a special emphasis on Mary. A large apse mural depicts American saints surrounding the Immaculate Conception of Mary and a gilded baldacchino ceiling contains an image of the Holy Spirit. Thirty-four unique stained glass windows portray saints, archangels, and Marian imagery. Honored with the Institute of Classical Architecture’s prestigious Acanthus Award for Interior Design, the project unites murals, glass, sculpture, and ornament into a reverent whole.
