Patterns: Layers, Part 2

Crews are continuing their work to repair and restore 

the columns on the old Indiana National Bank. 

Over the years, some of the marble slabs 

encasing the columns have loosened and fallen off, 

then been replaced piecemeal.

Last year, work began to stabilize and restore 

all of the columns. Crews have been working their

way around the building to remove

the marble slabs. They then have been installing

a steel framework that support what

looks like treated plywood panels. Once the

panels are in place, each column

is primed and coated with a substance

that will provide a better surface to adhere

the marble slabs.

At least, that is what I've been led to

believe is planned; I cringe to think that all

the work done on this iconic (for Indy!) building 

will result in a big faux-surface paint job!
