The Corinthian Heritage Documentation Grant Program
Bridging America's Stone Heritage with Modern Technology
The art of stone masonry has shaped our architectural landscape for centuries. Advanced 3D laser scanning and digital documentation technologies now provide unprecedented opportunities to create precise, comprehensive records of our architectural heritage – capturing vital details that can inform preservation planning and serve as a permanent historical record.
The Corinthian Heritage Documentation Grant Program emerged from our 25+ years of experience with all forms of stone construction – from natural stone like limestone, granite and marble to manufactured stone products including cast stone, architectural precast concrete and GFRC. This deep understanding of stone architecture, combined with cutting-edge documentation technology, allows us to help preserve these irreplaceable architectural treasures for future generations.
