West Cemetery Town Tomb Restoration
Amherst
17149
8
This project being undertaken in completion of the Preservation Plan involves the disassembly and reconstruction of the large cut stone slabs, columns, and pillars that constitute the south face of the 1855 Town Tomb, including the removal of the existing foundation and construction of a new foundation. A representative of Dorsey Memorials in Amherst who examined the stone wall facing of the tomb indicated that the stone panels are leaning and are in danger of coming down on their own. Funds previously appropriated for an engineering study of the tomb would be employed to examine the foundation and associated engineering issues. This restoration work would need to be done in concert with the replacement of the tomb door and should be accompanied by the associated landscape restoration.
