Recent projects include the fabrication and installation of metal columns, curvilinear walls and custom patina surfaces at Holly Hunt's Chicago and Los Angeles Showrooms.

Other projects include contemporary entryway awnings of glass and steel as well as restoration projects on vintage awnings, circa 1920. Great Lakes Art Studio has also reproduced and restored cast iron tiles from the frieze of the façade of the American Motor Club Building in Chicago.

We can restore your building's architectural integrity back to its original beauty by reproducing missing elements. Molds can be made on site and taken off the original and reproduced in cast iron, aluminum, steel or bronze.

Visitors are welcome to use our Resource Center to view or select architectural components for their project.
