Routine maintenances of outdoor monuments

Over the course of my summer with CMCP, my cohort and I performed routine maintenances of many memorable monuments throughout NYC, in materials ranging from steel, to bronze, granite, marble, sandstone, concrete, limestone, and more, all varying greatly in scale and style. We learned to differentiate these materials, and became particularly familiar with bronze alloys and the different granites commonly used for monuments in New York, such as Stonycreek’s pink granite (famously chosen for the base of the Statue of Liberty, and Grand Central Terminal).
