Stonework At Schiller

They’re working on the stone pillars that bracket the various entrances to Schiller Park.  Every morning as I walk by the pillars are a bit more disassembled, and it’s interesting to see the methodical pace of the stonework as it progresses.

I like the pillars, so I’m hoping the work involves repair and replacement of the mortar gluing the stones together, rather than outright removal.  The pillars speak of age . . . and character.  And it’s good to see that the Columbus Parks and Recreation Department is paying attention to details like the condition of stone pillars.  Schiller Park is a jewel, and every jewel needs polishing now and then.
