A GREAT RESTORATION AND THE PROPER WAY TO DO AWAY WITH DOUBLE ALTARS PLACED BACK-TO-BACK

Before and After: St. Mary's Catholic Church in Aspen, Colorado

 I like the restoration, although my personal taste is not to have things too busy and eye-dizzying. But apart from that, this is a good job.

Especially wonderful is the way they got rid of the old free standing altar and have one altar unified with its backdrop, reredos. As you will note, Mass can be celebrated ad orientem or facing the nave. No need for double altars that clutter the Sunday Mass sanctuary! Well done!
