White Point Gardens Bandstand Restoration Nearing Completion 12.09

I've been asked to post information about the progress of the White Point Gardens bandstand restoration by a reader in England. This is what I saw when I visited the park last week (Nov. 09).

The bandstand foundation has been completed. It supports a lower floor with 5 steps on the east and west sides. Support footings are in place to install the restored original cast iron columns and cornice. Here's a link to a post on the cast iron restoration.




The roof remains suspended waiting to be lowered into place.




Restoration of the bandstand should be completed in January 2010.




Here's a link to earlier posts about the project and White Point Gardens.

And here's a link to photo's of the completed renovation of the Bandstand in White Point Gardens in April 2010.
