The Sanctuary on 25th is an excellent example of how adaptive reuse can breathe new life into an existing property while preserving the character and history of a community. Owners of the Sanctuary on 25th transformed a former 1920s-era church into a restaurant and event space with a Roaring Twenties/Speakeasy vibe.
