"Work has begun to restore the four columns in front of the McFaddin Ward house.
The tops of the columns will be stripped of paint and used as a cast model for the exact replicas of the originals.
On Monday, workers boxed two of the 150 pound pieces for shipment to Oak Grove Restoration Company in Maryland.
The 100-year-old, 22-foot columns are iconic to the 1906-era McFaddin-Ward House and their slow deterioration necessitated the four-month refurbishing project."
