Industry Museum
                                    Harper's Ferry, West Virginia

 

	We did the stucco here in 1993. The original  building was built in 1788, and stuccoed about  1820  Left: We made the cool house print by nailing  2 x 4's up, and removing them after the  mortar set up. There really was a house there at  one time. Click for bigger view. Top: Pretty. We scored lines to simulate blocks  and the wall was painted by an artist.
	Left: Last remaining "islands" of the original  stucco show the marble paint. This area floods  frequently, and the old lime and sand stucco  doesn't hold up.  Above: We built a rack to be able to score the block "joints" quickly. In 100 degree temperatures, white cement sets way too fast.  Click here or on the picture above for a bigger view.
	We plastered this house, too, when  we were working in Harper's Ferry.  We took over the museum from a contractor  who got kicked off the job. We plastered the inside, too.  Most of the work they did had to be sledge hammered off the wall.  We had a great time working up here.

Pretty. We did this addition 2 years ago, and  you may have seen it on my progress updates.  I made a separate page to show it off.  Please click here or on the picture for more.	I think these stucco floors are just  too cool. I would llike to do more of them in the future. If you haven't seen my  floor on my progress updates, please clickhere or on the picture.
