Project: Cornice Reconstruction and Mantle Restoration

Bob assists Patty Hettich in stripping paint from decorative woodwork, then making rubber molds to create new details in the Federal-style home.

Bob returns to the William Gibbes House in Charleston, SC for a tour of the one-acre garden of this grand Georgian mansion, one of the nation’s best examples of Georgian architecture.

Bob observers the expert plasterer add detail to the cornice, which is under reconstruction due to water damage.
