Architectural Restoration

There is no dearth of beautiful lobbies in New York manifesting an array of different styles and ornament.  Buildings that were constructed many decades ago often have suffered years of neglect and well meaning designers have obscurred, for better or worse, the original splendor of the time period they were made. I have had the pleasure of doing restoration in some of these beautiful lobbies and am always fascinated when uncovering the original intention of the architect or designer and bringing it back to life.
