Sandstone Entryway

This entryway is a renovation project. A stone pillar is visible at the left of the entryway porch, ahead of the large green door. This pillar, constructed with sandstone, was pre-existing. The entire renovation is designed to match the rugged appearance of this pillar. The sandstone throughout this work is laid in a random style, with 1/2” mortar joints.  A segmented sandstone arch is set above the arched front door. Two massive rundle stone corbels (knee braces) support a concrete lintel over a green, garage entrance door. Around the corner from the corbel stone, a bull’s eye arch (a self-supporting arch) highlights the small, round, green window. This project was a sub-contract from McCroy Masonry (www.mccroymasonry.com).
