Bishop's Table
Maysville, Kentucky
This adaptive reuse project involved restoring and beautifying a former historic restaurant, The Bishop’s Table, and converting it into a residence.  The project included renovations to the garden patio, a new façade for an existing garage, carved Indiana limestone walls, handcrafted wrought-iron gates, and new gas lamps.  This project is located in Maysville, Kentucky, a historic town on the south bank of the Ohio River and known as being an important stop on the Underground Railroad.   

	Creating the mood of classical French architecture in Kentucky, this seven-foot high Indiana limestone wall was placed on a sandstone base which had been salvaged from the demolition of a local correctional facility.
	Durable Restoration’s talented material manager, Justin Willis, created the mold for the relief sculpture suspended above the center door of the garage.
	Our master plaster craftsman, Doug Campbell, applying the finishing touches to the stucco trim.
	The garage, which had been a plain block building with one rectangular door, was transformed by a façade of stucco, installation of six doors, and ornamental cornice.
	Project foreman Rick Ladina is tuckpointing the joints in the wall with historic lime-based mortar.
	Rick Ladina discusses code requirements for installation of the gas lamps with a representative from Columbia Gas of Kentucky and the plumbers who will lay the pipe.
