For a small, urban parcel within a historic district in Virginia, the strategic use of natural stone blends the old with the new. The merging of interior and exterior spaces, the artistry exhibited in the locally sourced stone elements, and the integration with the surrounding context create a private environment with commitment to craftsmanship and regional identity.
A Gothic rear altar, originally constructed and installed in the late 1880s, was salvaged, dismantled, and removed from its parish church in Massachusetts. Over two years of restoration, carving and repairs of missing statuary marble elements and inlays was necessary before being reinstalled at Christendom College.
Adapted from a Natural Stone Institute technical webinar, Doing the Heavy Lifting will explore the challenges encountered in the design, anchorage, and installation of cubic stonework. Our modern world has managed to make nearly everything thinner and lighter, including within the stone industry where we are using thinner than traditional sections in the majority of applications. Many of today’s craftworkers are unaware of the methods, techniques, and challenges unique to the use of heavy, cubic sections of stone. This article will discuss many of the differences required in fabrication, attachments, and handling of these “monster sized” natural stone elements.
