National Battleground Historic Lodge and Rostrum Restoration
EGI performed an historic restoration to the Lodge and Rostrum at the National Battleground Cemetery located in Washington, DC near the location of the Battle of Fort Stevens. The marble rostrum, originally built shortly after the battle in 1864, was badly in need of restoration. EGI performed plaster ceiling and concrete foundation replacement and delicately removed rust stains and other mars from the marble. Today, this structure is used to perform annual Memorial Day services.
