Roof Repairs on San Francisco Historic Building: Preservation of Italianate Entablature Roof Cornice on the Marble Court Apartment Building 1112 Larkin Street in San Francisco, CA
National Register of Historic Places #91000957
Designed by architect Edward H. Denke in 1923, the stucco cladded six-story Marble Court Apartment is a contributing historic building of the Lower Nob Hill Apartment Hotel District.
A key design element of these downtown San Francisco historic buildings is the consistency of the boldly projecting roof cornices. The Marble Court Apartment features an Italianate entablature roof cornice constructed of galvanized iron. In 2013, amidst adjacent new construction, Wedge Roofing was hired to preserve and restore the structural integrity of the historic apartment’s decorative metal roof cornice.
“In October 2016 I had Wedge replace my large roof that was in need, with a new lightweight genuine slate roof.Wedge was chosen after interviewing several roofers, and it turned out to be a great choice! This was a big project that took several months. They did an excellent job in every way.The crew was so polite, hardworking, and cleaned up completely every day. Their attention to detail was great. Every single slate is fitted in perfectly, and all the trim looks great as well.”
