Repairs to Ornate Plaster Ceiling in the Best Parlor
Plaster specialists from Van Overberghe recreate the ornate ceiling medallion that failed, and rebuild the cross pieces. All of the area has now been rebuild and replastered and is ready for painting. 
Plaster restoration is currently taking place throughout the first floor, with the emphasis on the best parlor (on the east). The highly ornate plaster ceiling, with its nine beautiful medallions, is being replastered. One large section on the room's north end had to be completely replastered down to the lathe, as these photographs show. Following replastering, the ceiling will be repainted.
