Saving the Basilica - Guastavino's Masterpiece
The Basilica Preservation Fund, Inc. was formed as a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation in March 2008 for the sole purpose of ensuring the future integrity of the Art and Architecture of the Basilica of Saint Lawrence.
We are commissioned with the task of raising the funds needed to preserve this beautiful, historic basilica, considered to be Rafael Guastavino's masterpiece.
We appeal to like minded individuals, corporations, and funding institutions who will join with us in this worthwhile endeavor to Save The Basilica.
"The Guastavino system represents a unique architectural treatment that has given America some of its most monumental spaces and deserves to be preserved and treated with care."
Theodore H.M. Prudon, Progressive Architecture
September 1989, p 138
