During WWII, the skylights in the NYS Capitol were painted black for safety reasons. These areas were eventually converted to office space. During a major roof renovation in the 2010 timeframe this skylight & laylight were revealed and brought back to their grandeur and flooding the stairway with natural light.

We fabricated and installed a new copper finial that is an exact replica of the original including the original vent system. The original “lamp” gave off so much heat that it was necessary to vent the excess heat out through the finial.

We hand formed full relief copper roof cresting consisting of spheres, fleur-de-lis’, and scrolls. These are not just flat sheets with the designs cut out. They are full three-dimensional panels that are 1” thick at their thinnest point and stand proud of the roof a full 6” at the scrolls.

We hand formed copper finials to replicate originals (in the background) as well as restoring existing ones that were salvageable.
