Pierce Street — Facade Restoration

Facade restoration with hand-built columns and custom wood finish trim. LED Construction handcrafted some of the columns and built all of the wood finish trim in an on-site workshop set up in the project’s garage.

With thanks to Lorna Kollmeyer Ornamental Plaster for the beautiful plaster pieces used in this restoration.
