Pumice Block Keeps Cost At Minimum
The Blessed Hope Advent Christian Church in Springfield designed by Norman G. A. Day of Tyringham will be dedicated tomorrow in ceremonies. It is the first New England church built entirely with pumice block, praised for economy and decoration. The complex cost about $60,000 and includes a 130-seat main church and a one-story adjacent building with education rooms, offices, parlor, and kitchen connected by a common entrance. Day used a high pitched roof for tradition, a flat-roofed annex to avoid visual clash, and a diamond shaped baptistry font in front of the pulpit. The interior was styled by Helen Hare Cain, with olive tones and baseboard heating. Day’s work marks a notable economical achievement for a small congregation, using pumice block and steel trusses to meet budget. Day’s first church, previously with Prentice Bradley in Pittsfield, later opened his own office in 1959.
