Notre Dame Seminary
New Orleans, Louisiana

After over 80 years of service and numerous hurricanes, the last being Katrina, the 22 foot tall cupola that adorned Shaw Hall at the Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans, Louisiana needed replacement.

The cupola, copper finials, a copper dormer and other custom copper components were all exactly reproduced in every detail by our personnel.

This project required the following techniques to be used to complete the work:

  • Brake Forming Metal
  • Pressed Metal
  • Metal Spinning
  • Hand Forming Metal
  • Metal Stretching and Metal Shrinking

The metal utilized on this project was 16 ounce copper, both hardened and dead soft materials. We also fabricated two Brass Crosses that adorn the cupola and another Steeple on the grounds.

Components duplicated for this project included:

  • Balusters
  • Railings
  • Leaves
  • Capitals
  • Finials
  • Frieze
  • Curved Ogee
  • Fleur de lis
  • Dentals
  • Urns
  • Pinnacles
  • Cornice

Our scope of working included replacing the entire superstructure within the cupola and railing system.
