>What Is Historic Restoration?
Historic restoration of cast iron and other metals involves using various processes to return historic structures to their original beauty. The restoration process includes comparing the object's existing condition with historical photos and other documentation, performing repairs, removing later additions, and custom-casting replicas where needed — all while attempting to preserve as much of the historical materials as possible. The goal is not necessarily to return things to a "like-new" appearance, but rather to bring the structure back to a previous time when it was appreciated and a vital part of the environment.
