DESCRIPTION: This project re-imagines a terra cotta cornice that was removed and lost over 50 years ago. Working from sparse historical photographs and Architect's design speculation, a showpiece cornice was created. It's multiple high-key colors call attention to the building's focal position in the community, yet retaining a seamless integration into the existing façade.
