Have you noticed the Vulcan tower leaks?
In 2004 the Vulcan statue and tower underwent an award-winning restoration. Unfortunately, despite its overall success, in periods of heavy rain or humidity the tower sometimes experienced considerable water penetration, causing wet stains and damaging the stairwell's plaster ceiling. Extensive investigation by experts led to sealing the tower's sandstone exterior in 2010, eliminating some 90% of the water entering the tower.
One elusive problem area remains, which causes the damage you see. Vulcan Park and Museum and its expert consultants continue to try to solve this problem. Once a solution is identified, it will need to be implemented in a manner sensitive to the tower's historical significance and authenticity. |
