Hooper's Creek column, Albemarle Park, Asheville
This is the outermost of four columns supporting the house’s upper story.
Our columns are built to exacting standards. They can support tens of thousands of pounds from a second floor, frame a porch for added privacy, or add a look of timelessness to new construction.
This stone, a local granite, is notoriously difficult to shape with a chisel; add the narrow dimensions of any column, and tight joints become a challenge. A good eye helps keep chisel work (which can “bruise” harder stone, making it brittle and shortening its lifespan) to a minimum.
