Cherokee Presbyterian Church in Canton, Ga.
Posted

The members of Cherokee Presbyterian Church in Canton,
Ga., were meeting in a sister church building and needed a
building of their own before they could attract enough members to
build what they really wanted. Every detail of the original
building is based on what the future building will be, with
additions to the front and back (left and right end walls) of the
church, as well as four phases total. Classrooms are currently on
the second floor mezzanine, which will eventually be opened up to
include a balcony, as the classrooms move to a new phase of
construction. A warming kitchen will eventually give way to a major
commercial kitchen. The structure is "beefed-up" to eventually
carry stained wood trimmed cathedral arches. The podium platform
expands to become a choir loft with orchestra platforms.
Started in September 2009, the 11,424-square-foot building was
completed in October 2010. Eufaula, Ala.-based American Buildings
Co., supplied a metal building, Loc Seam metal roof panels in Dark
Bronze SmartKote finish and Architectural III wall panels in Warm
White SmartKote finish. Lusk Construction Inc., Canton, was the
architect, contractor and installer.
