 Here is one completed Art Deco limestone panel for the restoration of the Chicago Board of Trade building. Walter S. Arnold of www.stonecarver.com carved seven of these in 2006, for a total of almost 50 linear feet. Our Stone Carver, Ryan Watson of Rocco Masons Corporation was honored to give him a hand on this project.  "This project came about for the most obvious of reasons - the building owners neglected basic preventative maintenance, and so they ended up needing a much larger job. They hadn't kept the stone work pointed, so water penetrated the walls, and freeze thaw broke down the old panels. Some of the panels were crumbling, de-laminating, missing chunks. An ounce of prevention was all they needed". says Walter S. Arnold of www.stonecarver.com  Since Watson's adventure to Chicago he's worked on carvings for clients in Philadelphia, South Carolina and throughout Canada to include his latest commercial carvings for the front of the beautifully renovated Taverna Italian Kitchen!
