The work to repair damage done by green paint at the National Cathedral was completed Monday evening.

“The conservator will have completed all of the requested corrective work regarding the recent vandalism at the Bethlehem Chapel and the Children’s Chapel by this evening,” Jim Shepherd, director of preservation and facilities, said in a statement Monday. “The Cathedral is very appreciative of the responsiveness and professionalism of the Gold Leaf Studios team. Due to their diligence and hard work, the vandalized decorative arts of two of our most cherished chapels have been returned to their original splendor in record time. Their immediate efforts minimized any long term damage to decorative carved wood and stone as well as gilded and painted surfaces.”

The chapels are now open to the public once again.

The Cathedral recently launched a fundraising campaign to pay for the approximately $15,000 in damage done by the green paint vandal. No fundraising events are planned at this time.

Jia Tian, a 58-year-old woman authorities believe is homeless, has been charged with vandalizing the Cathedral and Luther Place Memorial Church. At a hearing Friday, she was also implicated in the green paint vandalism that took place at the Lincoln Memorial. Tian was released to a halfway house Friday and will next appear in court on August 29.
