Restoration Stories
While no two projects are quite alike, here are examples of some examples of our favorite recent projects. You can see some of our capabilities in use.
John Marshall High School Entrance Lanterns | Los Angeles
John Marshall High School was built in 1931 in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. Dozens of productions have used it as a shooting location, most famously the movies Raiders of the Lost Ark, Grease, and Sixteen Candles.
The 36" tall lanterns appear small here, but they are 20' in the air and the main tower is 5 stories tall.
There are two massive lanterns that flank the main entrance to the school. Each one is 100 pounds of bronze and glass. 36" tall and original to the school.
Once removed we assessed the structure and condition of the lanterns to assess the whole scope of the project.

The interior showed many signs of weather pushing dirt inside through broken panels and gaps in the frame.
