Scenic Adair Co. KY: Pleasing architecture 2012-07-02 - Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Adair County Craftsman Dave Shields has been working on a project on the Jeffries Building, now owned by Eva and David Rigney, which involves a measure of preservation. The decorative iron on the front of the building as been painted to protect it; above Shields is measuring the face of what appears to have been a plaster face on rough face brick, most likely to assure a smooth face for a sign on the grand old building. Shields checked other buildings on the Square and found other ironwork by "G.L. Mesker & Co., Evansville, Ind." on the fronts of the Mike Harris Buildings and the M & P Variety Store, as well as on the Dan Antle/Reed Bros. Insurance Buildings. Somewhat similarly designed patterns on the ironwork can be found on those examples. Permalink | Comments?
