Loadbearing Brick Masonry
Performs in Aesthetical Splendor
The versatility, beauty and strength of brick masonry can be witnessed in this chapel constructed for the Navy Department, Naval Weapons Station, Charleston, S.C. Baker Masonry, Inc., a subsidiary of Pettit Construction Co., Spartanburg, S.C., performed the masonry work. Coward-Hund Construction Co., Charleston, was the general contractors.
The architect, Wilber-Kendrick-Workman & Warren, Charlotte, N.C., designed the one-story, 9,500 sq. ft. building with architectural masonry features demonstrating exaltation and grace. The ornamental 48-ft. high bell tower with connecting pierced brick screen walls, the decorative 10-in. radius brick circular entrance columns, the special 1,350 corner brick and sloping raked wing walls all attest to the superior performance of brick masonry in this setting.
The building is supported with reinforced concrete spread-footing foundation, steel joists, concrete floor slab, loadbearing brick exterior and loadbearing brick and block interior partition walls.
The meticulous workmanship executed on this job received meritorious recognition from the Navy Department, which issued a Certificate of Appreciation for excellence.
