Arlington House - State Dining Room - Office doorway molding - 2011

Molding around a doorway leading to the Office from the State Dining Room at Arlington House, the Robert E. Lee Memorial, at Arlington National Cemetery. The State Dining Room is in the eastern (front) half of the South Wing of the house, south of the Drawing Room and north of the Office.
Beginning in 2008, Arlington House began a major conservation and restoration effort. A modern HVAC system was installed to help prevent moisture and mold damage to the house and its contents, and conservation and restoration of its structural elements also occurred. The effort was due to end in 2012, but the August 2011 earthquake resulted in moderate structural damage to the house. The back wall separated from the mansion, requiring the rear passageway and conservatory to be declared off-limits. The second floor is also closed to visitors. The National Park Service says it has no idea when the house will reopen, as most NPS money is going for repairs to the Washington Monument.
Arlington House was built by George Washington Parke Custis, adopted son of George Washington, in 1803. George Hadfield, also partially designed the United States Capitol, designed the mansion. The north and south wings were completed between 1802 and 1804. but the large center section and portico were not finished until 1817.
George Washington Parke Custis died in 1857, leaving the Arlington estate and house to his eldest daughter, Mary Custis Lee -- wife of General Robert E. Lee.

THE SLOW LIFE - "BE NOT AFRAID" - Front / Back of booklet

Front and rear of the booklet.
The theme was centred around Number Stations and ghostly transmissions and the idea of an abandoned station somehow naturally transmitting to animals. Not quite sure how we arrived at that but I think this was the most fun I have had doing a sleeve so far.
