Working only from an old photograph, ARC's designers and sculptor Ann Guip, recreated the cornice of the former Frick and Lindsay Bldg., now the home of the Andy Warhol Museum. Computer enhancement of the old photograph, and CAD drafting techniques allowed faithful reproduction of this historic building. For more detailed photos, click HERE.

FULLALAM.JPG (191893 bytes) The historic Alamance County Courthouse near Winston-Salem, NC was preserved by replacing the roof balustrade with GFRC, supplied by Architectural Restoration Castings Co.


When restoring historic structures, such as the Alamance County  Courthouse, ARC can apply finishes to harmonize with the appearance of the originals, including color variations, stains, and surface finish.
KirbyCenter.jpg (22616 bytes) The Art Deco F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts in Wilkes-Barre, PA, was totally renovated by Masonry Preservation Services, of Berwick, PA. Individual damaged tiles were removed and shipped to ARC for replication. The replacements for the original terra cotta tiles matched the originals in both color and surface finish.
ROSEBLDG.JPG (96038 bytes) The elaborate cornice on the Rose Building in Cleveland required extensive restoration to maintain its classic appearance. ARC designed the attachment framing and fabricated the replacement cornice and wall panels. Click HERE for detail photos.
After years of suffering from neglect and  
disrepair, the elaborate Terra Cotta column 
covers and cornices for the  Maul Building 
in Pittsburgh's historic South Side were 
faithfully recreated by ARC in GFRC.
LINCBLDG.jpg (85390 bytes) This decorative cartouche was recreated 
and installed on the Lincoln Building on 
42nd St. in New York City.
