Sacred & Cultural Projects
Properties with a sacred or cultural significance stand as meaning-filled monuments of beauty to their communities. Their faithful preservation demands so much more than simple construction techniques and manpower; They require a deep understanding of artistic and architectural history, specialized materials knowledge, and extensive experience in recreating historic ornamental detail.

VICTORY THEATER - 125th St. NYC
This severely damaged 1920’s theater lobby required extensive restoration of individual architectural elements and ornamental plaster. Exact molds were produced for each element to be preserved as models of the theater’s original design for archival capture toward future use.
THE RIVERSIDE CHURCH - HARLEM, NYC
Interior restoration of Harlem’s historic Riverside Church involved matching damaged granite and ornamental limestone to their original architectural forms. Surface reworking was also employed to reverse decades of darkening by age.
