Park Avenue Armory Pilot Rooms
As part of a comprehensive rehabilitation and restoration of the Park Avenue Armory, EverGreene performed extensive treatments on painted plaster surfaces.
In Company Room D, EverGreene carefully removed the post-historic bas-relief plaster panels, composition ornament, and non-original overpaint from the ceiling and walls.
In Company Room E, EverGreene methodically removed post-historic plaster strapwork and bosses from the ceiling, which was followed by a intensive paint stabilization campaign, and then “delayering” of non-original coatings (both chemically and mechanically), back down to the 1880′s presenting layers.
