| Building: |
Davidson County Courthouse |
| Client: |
Hardaway Construction Corporation |
| Location: |
Nashville, Tennessee |
| Type: |
Historic Government Building |
| Project Overview: |
As part of a full-scale restoration of this historic landmark, Hardaway Construction Corp. called on Stuart Dean to recreate the original look of the building’s architectural wood details. Stuart Dean performed a one-time restoration of the custom wood paneling present in the Davidson County Courthouse’s courtrooms. |
| Challenge: |
The Davidson County Courthouse is more than seventy years old. Stuart Dean carefully employed tested restoration techniques to counteract the years of damage and fading the wood had endured without destroying its historic value. |
| Work Completed: |
Stuart Dean carefully consulted with Hardaway Construction in order to perform a restoration that met the building’s architectural standards. Existing wood panels needed to be stripped of existing paint down to the bare wood. The wood was refinished, stained and lacquered. |
| Results: |
Hardaway Construction Corp. was very satisfied with the results of Stuart Dean’s courtroom restoration and asked Stuart Dean to restore the courthouse’s freestanding wood benches and pews. |
