Abstract:
The State Capitol grounds in Raleigh boast a range of monuments and statutes from confederate guns to depictions of World War I soldiers. Some of these memorials were cast in bronze which is not impermeable to the elements. Corrosion attacked these statues and a restoration plan was devised in 1981 by the State Capitol Foundation which raised the funds from several individuals and organizations to perform the necessary conservation.
