Roberts County Courthouse

Professio by matt Henson Inc. has been contracted to perform the restoration of the plaster on the Roberts County Courthouse (http://www.co.roberts.tx.us/) in Miami Texas ( http://www.miamitexas.org ). The project manager is Grimes & Associates. (http://www.grimesengineering.com ) The project architect is Michel Peter with Preservation Associates (http://www.arch.ttu.edu/Architecture/Faculty/directory.asp?ID=38).

The ceiling in the courtroom had ornamental plaster on it. Unfortunately the courthouse sustained water damage and the plaster ceiling fell to the floor and along with it all the ornamental plaster. The pieces in the photo were sent to us to start the recreation of the ceiling. We have no good photos of the cornice work only these pieces which unfortunately do not show all aspects of the work. There will have to be some conjecture as to the continuation of the design.

I’ll keep you informed as to the progress of this interesting project.
