Stamford Central School District
Stamford, NY
CSI 2022 RESTORATION EXCELLENCE AWARDS WINNER
This project is a complete cast stone replacement restoration of the historic Stamford Central School which was originally constructed in 1936. The cast stone scope includes the complete replacement of the ornate upper bands, large window panels with through-hole design, large columns, column capitals, wall panels, lettered wall panels, datestone, and sills / bands.
Without the very decorative architectural cast stone elements the building would look very “average”, but the ornate designs really make the structure standout as an architectural treasure.
Since the original architectural elements were cast stone, fabricating in the same material was an important aspect of the building restoration. The highly refined cast stone mix design and intricate cast stone molding techniques enabled the detailed replication of the ornate architectural details of the 88-year-old building. The fully restored cast stone elements serve as the visual focal point of this historically significant building.
Handsome restoration of something badly deteriorated – a dramatic improvement.
Highly complex panels shows an excellent job in executing the fabrication.
Faithful to the original Art Deco design and a significant transformation.
Impressive amount of detail.
