Replicating period metal adornments is a specialty applied to bronze railings and grates at this historical structure. Salvaging key components of the entrance canopy allowed us to modernize this element while retaining the vintage design. Several finishing techniques were used to maintain the charm of this important venue including mechanical abrasion, oil rub, chemical stripping and custom paint.
