Acella completes addition to Fall River church
Acella Construction Corp. announced today that it has completed an addition to the Espirito Santo Church in Fall River.
The 500-square-foot addition to the Catholic church is centered on a 45-foot bell tower and a new circular chapel addition with a patio and a pergola, said Acella Construction, which is headquartered in Norwell. The new bell tower is composed of galvanized steel and was designed to be one of the hallmarks of the church exterior, the firm said.
Included in the refurbishing were large round stain glass windows and gilded woodwork that were salvaged from the neighboring Our Lady of Health Church, said Acella Construction, adding that those measures were undertaken as part of a gesture to welcome former parishioners from Our Lady of Health to their new parish.
Acella said it worked on the project with an architectural design team from Annino Inc. of North Attleborough.
