The historic nature of this site called for the use of period accurate solutions to repair the century-old structures of the park. The use of 5v crimp metal roofing of as seen in historical documentation for buildings, like the Church, was a major focus in our goal to improve the authenticity of the park, compared to the modern corrugated steel roofing previously in use. The replacement of the Library’s windows to wooden, double-hung operable openings was a massive improvement to both the functionality and historical detailing of the building. Various repairs and improvements to other areas of the site, such as to the Post Office, Reservoir Building, and Pavilion space, also followed the same precedent to improve both the historian’s and the casual visitor’s experience at the park.
Our work with the Historical Commission has made the Confederate Memorial Park appear closer to its past than it ever has, and we are proud to have helped craft such an authentic historical experience.
