Has a company been selected yet who provides fine art/architectural conservation, ornamental plaster consolidation and replication, paint analysis and decorative painting, along with scaffold erection? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

I was fortunate enough to have been sent to Springfield to work on the restoration of the auditorium for Evergreene Painting Studios. On a day to day basis, for eight weeks, a painstaking cleaning process was instituted, enabling someone to witness the uncovering, through the removal of black soot caused by the coal heaters, of an irreplaceable gem of a structure. The owners, Mike & Steve, visited the site on a day-to-day basis and were astonished, as we all were, at the details uncovered daily. The really astonishing fact was that, in comparison, the Empire State Building took one year to the day from start to finish, for construction. The Hippodrome took twice as long to build!

Jim-
Having been an employee of Jeff Greene’s EPS on 12 projects, I can assure you that comments about his being a renegade interloper are not true. The only person who may believe the comments about his being a renegade are the ones whispering those things to who’ll ever listen. I personally can assure you that the man has a passion for excellence that’s unsurpassed. His knowledge and passion for the restoration craft are matched only by the patience and expertise he passes on to his employees.
As for Standards of Excellence, Jeff Greene and EPS are light years ahead of all competition. I know this as fact because I’ve also worked for his competitors.
“An artist creates beauty through the manifestation of art, architecture and music.

Jeff Greene is a true artist.
