Kolb Studio Renovation

Restoring an iconic landmark at Grand Canyon.

Grand Canyon Kolb Studio Renovation 2013-14 (54) Repair and replacement of log and shingle siding - in some cases the original materials are coaxed back into place with improved fasteners, and when this isn't possible it is replaced by hand tooling new siding to match the original piece. The work of cutting and shaping the new pieces is taking place right in front of the Kolb Garage, where the public can view the process. GCA Photo by Terri Attridge.
