That’s a wrap on the German Society Tomb! Who doesn’t love a cemetery in August?! This tomb got a new roof, stone conservation, 5 vaults prepped for burials, and it got plaster repairs along with some potassium silicate coating. Thank you to Juliette’s incoming baby for staying put until this got finished, thank you to Nick with Nola Cemetery Renewal for tag-teaming this one, and thank you to Save Our Cemeteries for footin’ the bill. This tomb is ready for its next 100 years of history.

We are cleaning and in-painting several sculptures in the magnificent Jesuit Church. This involves climbing a very tall scaffolding structure. The “weather” at the top is about 20 degrees warmer than the bottom. These sculptures were last worked on in 1997. The white paint has held up pretty well but they are very dirty and the gold paint is quite tarnished. Everyone needs some touch-ups after 30 years.

Our team is doing Paint Analysis for the historic Oakleigh House in Mobile, AL. Built in the 1830s, this historic house museum is undergoing a renovation and re-interpretation. The current building stewards are interested in how the historic owners would have treated their various rooms. Even when historic paints and coatings have been covered up with 1980s wallpaper, a peak behind the outlet covers can tell us a lot! We collected over 20 samples and will analyzing them under a microscope to match the historic paint colors.

A typical week at the office for our team includes accidentally dressing like your coworker, cataloging archaeological finds, climbing on top of buildings, creeping under buildings, and staring wistfully at buildings. Historic preservation and conservation work is the best work!

We started conservation work on the German Society Tomb in Lafayette 1 Cemetery. This is a project with for . Once we pulled the small wheat field of plants from the roof and cleaned the stucco, we could see that the outer bays were actually additions to the original society tomb. The change in stucco material suggests the additions were constructed about 25-50 years after the original structure. The notches on the sides of the tomb suggest this group was planning for additional future growth; the notches would have accepted the slate shelves that to form new burial vaults. We also got started on cleaning the marble…check out the satisfying video!

This historic barn from 1925 is in Grand Coteau, Louisiana, on land that’s belonged to the Jesuits for a very long time. We believe it’s a kit-of-parts building, with a gambrel roof that was likely designed somewhere up north where they encounter more snow. It’s got real barn doors and real shiplap (eat your hearts out, Chip and Joanna).
