✅ HOW IT WORKS – St. Stanislaus Parish, Historic Renovation and Addition
Berghammer is excited to be part of the transformation of the future Fatima Center for St. Stanislaus Parish. This project is a renovation and addition to a 140-year-old cream city brick building anchoring the east end of historic Mitchell Street, across from St. Stanislaus Church in Milwaukee. When complete, the project will feature a new three-story addition and rooftop terrace with exposed cream city brick, coffered ceilings and extensive woodwork highlighting the interior of the restored building. The new space will accommodate meeting, assembly, and hospitality functions for St. Stan’s for generations to come.
Originally a neighborhood meat market, the structure was carefully gutted to its brick and timber frame and is now being restored under the purview of the Milwaukee Historic Preservation Commission. This type of construction work happens below grade, with tight clearances, and around aging foundations, all while respecting the original historical structure.
We’ve done deep excavation, foundation repairs, and hand-executed underpinning inside the existing basement, completed with less than 8 feet of overhead clearance. This job definitely requires creativity, craftsmanship, and coordination between our concrete, carpentry, and field teams.
