Founded in 1920, with a focus on customer service and satisfaction, Hennessy's reputation for quality has earned us many repeat clients. We have been instrumental in building and restoring many of St. Petersburg's local landmarks and institutions, some of which include the Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg, Mahaffey Theater, St. Anthony's Hospital, Resurrection House, St. Petersburg Museum of History, Jim and Heather Gills YMCA, Childs Park YMCA Community Center, The Salvation Army Sallie House and Children's Village, and Hennessy's very first project – St. Mary Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in downtown St. Petersburg. 

This project created much needed additional space for The Salvation Army, enabling them to bring together, in one location, several programs in a campus setting.

Scope included site development, construction of two new structures and renovation and addition to the third. Building "A" is 5,500 sf and houses the administrative offices for the campus.  Connected to Building A by a covered walkway, Building "B" is 33,900 sf. It included renovation and addition to an existing structure to create 25 living units with complete kitchens, two of which are handicap accessible, and the "Christmas Joy Center" for toy distribution. Building "C" is 12,100 sf and acts as the center for The Salvation Army's Correctional Services, processing individuals on probation for the State of Florida.

The child welfare community has praised - and depended on - Sallie House since the early 1990's.  This new facility will result in a 33% increase in the capacity for children in need of emergency care and will serve to increase the efficiency in operations.  The one story masonry and steel truss residence is being built using durable, abuse-resistant materials. The new layout will allow children greater security and serenity while making supervision much easier for daily activities of homework, napping, bathing and playing music.
