(Exact Metrology: Cincinnati) -- Exact Metrology, a comprehensive 3D metrology service provider and hardware sales company, is proud to be a part of the restoration of Cincinnati Music Hall’s sandstone ornaments in Cincinnati. The restoration includes 10 finials atop gables and a sandstone lyre.

This project was undertaken by Friends of Music Hall, a volunteer-driven organization; its mission is to preserve, improve, promote, and provide education about Cincinnati Music Hall, a National Historic Landmark. Thea Tjepkema, board member and historic preservationist is leading this restoration project on behalf of the Friends of Music Hall.

When the architect Samuel Hannaford designed Cincinnati Music Hall in the High Victorian Gothic style, he included a Gothic fleuron, or finial, on each of the eleven gables. Over the past 140 years, the original carved sandstone has deteriorated to the point that only portions of these important decorative elements remain.
