国王教堂墓地修复工程已完成

在自由之路基金会的帮助下,历史墓地倡议项目已完成对国王教堂墓地沿特雷蒙特街的铸铁围栏的修复工作。

这个历史悠久遗址的前围栏建于1854年。为了安装铸铁围栏,一座石墙被拆除。围栏的费用由私人捐款支付。当时,装饰华丽的铸铁围栏很流行,波士顿许多历史悠久的墓地都竖起了这样的围栏。

我们从自由之路基金会保护基金获得7500美元的资助,用于帮助修复这道围栏。该项目的总成本为35808.00美元。工作范围包括更换缺失的围栏部件、校正围栏柱帽、清除所有锈迹,以及用特制油漆对围栏进行底漆和重新粉刷。

铸铁虽然是一种非常耐用的材料,但为了延长其使用寿命,需要定期维护。国王教堂墓地围栏存在三个问题:生锈、围栏构件破损和围栏构件缺失。生锈是由暴露于空气中造成的,会腐蚀铁,最终使其损坏到无法使用。对抗锈蚀的第一道防线是保持围栏涂漆完好。接下来的两个问题通常是意外事故(例如撞到围栏)或人为破坏造成的。

铸铁修复所用油漆的选择非常重要,并取决于涂刷方法。本项目中,围栏是在现场重新粉刷的。将历史围栏拆除,在车间进行清洗和粉刷,可以获得最高质量的油漆效果,但这会大大增加成本,并可能对铸铁和支撑的砖石结构造成风险。如果由熟练的技术人员操作,现场清洗和粉刷也能提供极佳的持久涂层。选择光面漆是因为它比半光面漆更耐用。

我们很高兴这面围墙现在看起来如此美丽!我们感谢自由之路基金会保护基金对历史墓地的持续支持!
