Historic Metal Restoration of a 1920s Office Building, Toronto, ON

Heather & Little participated in the cornice and historic metal restoration of a 1920s 5-storey office building located in midtown Toronto.

We were tasked by the owners of this privately owned office building to remove the original decorative galvanized sheet metal cornice and to completely rebuild and replace it with an entirely new, custom-made copper cornice. Working directly with the owner, we went through a series of sample mock-ups to arrive at a final design for the new cornice. Once approved, a 16-ounce sheet of copper was substituted for the old galvanized iron to recreate the new copper cornice and restore this building to its former beauty.
