Behind the Cornice


Last Friday was a busy day on the Old State House Tower. The Boston Preservation Alliance was on-site for a tour of the restoration work. The group was led by project team members Don Tellalian, Bill Barlow, and Rainey Tisdale, who reported that everyone had interesting questions about the tower and were excited about the work being undertaken by The Bostonian Society.




Friday also saw the removal of the north and east cornice on the dome level. These two sides showed significant deterioration, and required repair and replacement. In the photograph the the east cornice has been removed, revealing the tower framing underneath.
