[MassHistPres] Cast Iron Replication and Repair

[Jim Wald]

The Town of Amherst contracted with Schiff Architectural Detail for some 
complicated work of this type on the 19th-century cast iron fence around 
the family plot of Emily Dickinson in historic West Cemetery.

The work included repair and repainting of such rusted and delaminated 
portions as could be retained, replacement of those that could not be 
retained or were missing (including casting new parts), and cleaning and 
resetting of granite piers. Schiff did excellent work, and I witnessed 
the reinstallation in 2013.
