The Church of Our Savior in San Gabriel, CA, recently added a new parish hall and a children's chapel to its eight-acre campus. In order to adhere to the traditional look of the original buildings on campus, which had been designed with slate, the same material was incorporated into the 6,000-square-foot parish hall and 1,500-square-foot chapel. And in addition to a slate roof, the expansion employs 6,000 square feet of Summer Buff slate and Antique Gold quartzite flooring throughout the interior and exterior--supplied by Southland Stone USA, Inc. of North Hollywood, CA.
