Elaborate ornate cornice fabricated in our shop of 28 gauge paint grip galvanized metal. Fabrication and installation took months to complete, but will last another 100 years with proper maintenance.

This quaint little neighborhood store front was brought back with the addition of this cornice with its clean simple lines installed and painted to match the original.

Restoration consisted of fabrication of a replacement cornice and repairing the wainscot area of this icon of Eastern Market.

The Howard Block Building in downtown Port Huron has housed many of the cities small businesses over it's 114-year-old history. The building typifies Victorian commercial architecture, and has undergone many incarnations to become the first in a series of downtown Port Huron buildings to undergo historic restoration. Many of the ornate window cornices had been removed and discarded when the building facade was completely paneled over to "modernize" it. The few cornices that had been left in place provided our craftsmen with a pattern to fabricate new to match the existing - exactly.

This cornice is not just ornamentation, it houses the entire built-in gutter system for this building. Large enough for a person to take a bath in, this gutter is hung on heavy iron hidden cradles that are cemented into the brick walls and fastened as in the original construction.
