The Town of Middleburg is excited to announce it has engaged Glave & Holmes to provide architectural/engineering services for the Asbury Church Restoration Project. The goal of the project is to restore the church building so it can be used as an interpretative site and a small group meeting/gathering space.
Glave & Holmes is an experienced and well-respected architecture firm, with a specific business practice focused on historic properties. Through a public procurement process, Glave & Holmes was selected by the Town and Town Council to lead this design effort on the historic Asbury Church. Specifically, Glave & Holmes has an on-staff architectural historian and will engage with additional firms to explore the historic characteristics of the structure with the intent to preserve and promote this history.
A project design kick-off meeting was held on September 22nd. Site Investigation work will begin September 24th, with members of the investigative team being present onsite during different days of the week over a three-week period. No loud noise or impact to the community is expected; however, if any activity is expected to be disruptive to the public, additional notice will be provided ahead of time.
Below are some of the key milestone events associated with the design phase of this project:
- Site Investigation: Begins September 24, 2025
