Adaptive reuse of Episcopal Church of Saints Matthew and Barnabas church buildings. The Diocese donated the property (parsonage, santuary and parish hall) to a local nonprofit. The 2-story parish hall was renovated to housing that includes five-bedrooms for large immigrant families, and the church was converted into a multicultural center. The parsonage is also home to large immigrant families. Church Donated to Capital Area New Mainers Project (CANMP). Buildings were constructed more than 160 years ago.
