Challenge:

Perform complete historical restoration of the 1872 Victorian-era mausoleum housing the Barney Family.

Solution:

The granite work involved masonry cleaning, pointing, restoration of the joints finished in lead and replacement of missing lead, epoxy injection, and the creation of granite dutchmen at spall locations. Marble statues that were in poor condition were taken off site, the surfaces consolidated, molds created of the original piece, and replications cast to replace the originals on site. The bronze screens and panels were sandblasted with walnut shells, then cleaned, oiled, and coated with acrylic and wax.
