Projects
17th-Century Limestone Architecture
In 2017, Stone & Trowel rebuilt and restored remnants of a 17th-Century Gothic Cathedral which was original to Italy but had been deconstructed and shipped to Victoria, BC. The limestone windows and doorways became garden features at the Norfolk Heritage Lodge, or Oldfield Estate, in Saanich, BC.
City Hall Restoration
Duncan, BC
In 2024, Stone & Trowel was responsible for restoring and lime-washing the sandstone belts, sills, arches, stairways and the clock tower at the city hall in Duncan, BC. This project entailed repointing the original stonework from 1913 with traditional lime-based mortars and a traditional lime-wash to help prevent the sandstone from eroding any further.
Heritage Stone Pillars (Samuel Maclure)
In 2023, Stone & Trowel completed the restoration and rebuild of two heritage stone pillars which were original to a home built by Samuel Maclure in Oak Bay, BC and marked the entrance of the home's driveway. Over the decades we have worked on numerous heritage homes built by the famous architect, restoring the original chimneys and stone walls.
