Renovation & Historic Restoration Experience

Soldiers' & Sailors' Monument
Indianapolis

Restoration of this famous structure required superior planning and care, not least because we had to demolish the entire plaza around the Monument without disturbing the structure itself.

Surprises were many. For instance, after finding the limestone plaza steps were each uniquely cut to fit in a single location, we removed them one by one, surveying each point of support, so they could be stored and later reinstalled exactly as first laid.

And when no subcontractor would undertake the replication of the historic stairway inside the Monument, we bought equipment for our own metal shop and did the work ourselves.
