Private Residence - Dallas, TX
This personal residence is more than 4,000 cubic feet of Shell and Texas Cream limestone with a hand carved design over the front entry weighing more than 7,000 pounds. The downspouts are designed behind the stone so they are invisible. Planning for this unique feature meant the stone had to be cut and hallowed to make room for the spouts. The urns along the front are solid cut stone weighing 2,000 pounds each. They were turned and shaped on a lathe, and then hand carved around top. The more than 40 balasters around front were also each individually turned on a lathe.
