Thanks Richard. I would not be surprised with the estimate. Now that the roof structure is gone, they will need to structurally reinforce the walls and bell towers prior to building a new roof system. Also unfortunately the building is wide open to the weather so pretty much everything inside that wasn't already fire and smoke damaged will have to be removed. Essentially is like starting with a stone skeleton.
