Case History: Park Cities Baptist Church, Dallas Texas
Models of ornament can be provided either by the Cast Stone manufacturer, the Architect or the Owner's Representative. Models can consist of almost any material, including existing stones. Plaster of Paris makes an ideal model and there are a large number of ornamental plasterers servicing the industry for this purpose. Lintels may be reinforced and made to bear on the wall or they may be supported by a shelf angle from either below or above the stone, as show in window surround section F. Threaded inserts are more costly than dowel holes or anchor slots, particularly when required in the unformed (or back) side of the stone. |
