The story of the Monroe Street Abbey restoration in Phoenix, Arizona, is one of vision and perseverance. Erected originally as a Baptist church in 1929, this Italian Gothic Revival building is one of the oldest structures in the city. Nearly destroyed by a fire in 1984, today it stands as both a landmark and a testament to innovative renewal and transformation.
Thanks to Old Republic Surety, the project’s most recent phase was successfully completed in the spring of 2024. Old Republic Surety wrote a $5.3 million bond for Patry Building Company LLC to finish the restoration that had begun prior to the pandemic.
