restoration

estoration has been the backbone of Tony Castro & Company

for over 20 years.

Cracked

and loose plaster

from

settling

foundations

water damage

from generations of failed

roofing

and leaking radiators

, and

dirt

rom old furnaces took their tole.

Many decorations

were painted or wall papered over long ago

and were long since forgotten. We have had the

privilege

and the

thrill of bringing back to life a wonderful collection of decorations.

These 'before and after' photos show the restoration of various decorations.

The images below show the discovery of a section of decoration protected from overpaint by

the

trim of a door that had been moved. The old black and white photo showed that this decoration

had continued around the theater.

he photo was

nlarged to actual size and combined with the

uncovered colors gave all the information necessary to

execute

the reproduction.
