The Dennis (Mass.) Union Church had been serving that Cape Cod community for nearly 200 years when a building committee came together to decide on how best to treat the church’s aging exterior while preserving its historical elements. Part of the ensuing renovations included composite shutters from Atlantic Premium Shutters that replaced previous undersized ones that did not match the scale or character of the church’s windows.
