COCA -COLA SIGN REHABILITATION STATE HISTORICAL FUND GRANT 2011 Proposal No. 7217 3/22/2011 PAGE 1 OF 6 Colorado Conservators Deborah Uhl and Lisa Capano plan to have three treatment phases during the rehabilitation. The first will be to visit the site and document its condition. A few paint samples will be obtained in differently colored areas. These samples will then be analyzed under a microscope and/or by FTIR to determine their material components. Our analyses will include determining the historical colors as it would have appeared in 1958. This information along with consultation with colleagues will help direct the next phase of the treatment of testing consolidants compatible with the original materials. Colleagues in the Conservation field include Leslie Rainer, Wall Paintings Conservator for the Getty, and Richard Wolbers,'Paint Analyst and Scientist at the University of Delaware. The second phase of the treatment will involve a site visit for testing a few consolidants on the paint layers as well as testing consolidants for the adhesion of the paint to the masonry substrate.. Cleaning tests will be All conservation documentation should be retained with the artifact as part of its historical record. Documentation which the conservator provides complies with the principles set forth in the Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice of the American Institute for Conservation.

CO 80302 303442.3601 lax. 449.666 the Collaborative, ine. (tCi) Now in its 36th year, The Collaborative, Inc. (tCi), is a noted historic preservation group of seasoned professionals with a national practice, 95% of which is in historic preservation; 85% of that work is for non- profits and governmental entities (e.g., city, county, state, and federal). Examples of services the firm has provided is historic preservation, architectural conservation, masonry system assessment and conservation, and preservation planning services to clients such as colleges and universities, city governments, numerous State Historic Preservation Offices, the National Park Service, and the General Services Administration. tCi has extensive experience in the field evaluation of the masonry of historic structures, and is supported by an in-house historic materials analysis laboratory. Project specific services have been provided on over 1,000 historic structures such as libraries, dormitories, administrative buildings, post offices, courthouses, city halls, state capitol buildings, opera houses, and auditoriums. Each project had a particular critical concern and, on occasion, some needed emergency stabilization. The firm has long-term experience in the evaluation and preservation of granite, limestone, and other forms of masonry from terra cotta to adobe, always using methods to control costs. Our materials analyses and condition assessments are conducted in our internal laboratory, and our recommendations adhere to the specific definitions spelled out in the standards developed by the U.S. Department of Interior. In addition, when appropriate, tCi has developed hundreds of detailed design and construction documents as well as detailed cost estimation and construction period services in more than 40 U.S. and territories. Historic Architectural Services The Collaborative has developed a comprehensive approach for historic architectural building services. Each structure is examined and evaluated with a holistic approach in which the building is treated as a single organism. All materials are described, conditions analyzed, and causative factors of deterioration determined. Causes and effects of material deterioration are analyzed for their interconnectivity. The condition of masonry structures is evaluated for the following effects: Climate, microclimates, and air quality, along with sub -surface soil conditions, groundwater, and bedrock. Comprehensive histories are researched and written for the site and structure. These include a list of missing elements, significance statements, and intrusion analyses. The following represents a selection of work from our projects covering over 1,000 buildings. Historic Structures Reports, Masonry Conditions Evaluations, and Materials Condition Analyses: Historic structures that tCi has worked on include college/university campus buildings, hotels, county -owned buildings, city -owned buildings, and federal buildings in nationwide. These reports, evaluations, and/or materials condition analyses have been performed as an integral part of Historic Structure Reports on, for example, Montezuma College (1922) in New Mexico; the Franklin Hotel in Deadwood, South Dakota; and several buildings at Antioch College (Yellow Springs, Ohio) such as Antioch Hall, the Science Building, South Hall, and the Library. In recent years, Historic Structures Reports have also been completed on the Junction City (Kansas) Opera House; St. Williams Lodge at Camp St. Malo in Allenspark, Colorado; the Laramie Plains Civic Center in Laramie, Wyoming; and on the historic stone bridges in Manitou Springs, Colorado. In many of these instances, such reports are followed by historic preservation plans and specifications. Short Firm Resume D E B O R A H U H L: PAINTING CONSERVATOR TREATMENT' REPORT, CONT'D. PAGE 2 OF 6 performed at this time as well on both the brick substrate and the presenting paint layer. These test areas will include testing the application of a varnish layer and a sacrificial anti -graffiti coating. The tested materials will be stable synthetic materials that are will not yellow, are suitable for exterior use, and will not damage the original paint layers should they need to be removed in the future. The applied materials will not trap moisture but will allow moisture to move through the masonry substrate while stabilizing the paint layers to the masonry. These first two phases.can be performed at the ground level of the wall and thus will not require scaffolding: The test areas will generally be fifteen square centimeters in size per sample and will be well documented with photographs and written documentation. John Feinburg, Architectural Conservator, will visit the site during either the first or second phase to evaluate the condition of the masonry and the integrity of the wall: John will document his findings and recommendations with written and photographic documentation. Deborah will be available to attend project meetings throughout the phases of the rehabilitation.; The third phase will be the overall treatment of the two signs. The over -the -top scaffolding will be erected to gain access to the entire wall to be treated. The mortar repointing will take place previous to the painting conservation treatment. The signs will be meticulously cleaned and consolidated from the top down to secure all of the historical paint and slow down the processes of deterioration we have discovered during the first two investigative phases. If a final varnish coating has been determined appropriate for this exterior wall and its surrounding environment' then it will be applied once the consolidating materials have fully cured to ensure that no moisture is trapped within the paint layers. The synthetic non -yellowing varnish will have a high glass transition temperature so that it will not attract dirt and grime. It will be reversible without affecting the historical paint layers and will trap moisture between the varnish and the paint layers. All of the materials used during the treatment will need to be appropriate for the environmental conditions in Fort Collins as well as compatible with the mortar and the material components in the paint to slow down the rate of deterioration of the historic artifact and ensure its integrity for many years to come. If a varnish coating is deemed inappropriate for this project, then the estimated time will be used to reintegrate the signature block into the image as well as any other areas that time allows us to retouch. After the on site treatment phase, the documentation will be assembled into the final treatment report that will include the maintenance plan. The maintenance plan will be created for the historical site to monitor the wall's condition and bring awareness to any changes that need to be addressed. D E B O R A H U H L: PAINTING CONSERVATOR TREATMENT RF.POR7', CONT'D. PAGE 3 OF 6 CONSERVATION TEAM'S PAST EXPERIENCE RELEVANT TO THIS PROJECT: Both Deborah Uhl and Lisa Capano have worked extensively on murals over the past combined 34 years of Conservation experience. Lisa Capano has been conserving indoor murals at Denver University in recent years. She has worked alongside Denver Conservator Randy Ash on murals in Colorado and surrounding states since 1996. Lisa's experience began in Europe where she was exposed to a variety of degradation processes spanning hundreds of years beyond the aging of walls here in America. John Feinburg of The Collaborative Inc. in Boulder has been spearheading Historical Preservation projects throughout the United States for the past 36 years. He has agreed to participate in this project to round out our Colorado team with the architectural and structural analysis to ensure that the all degradation processes that the sign is subjected to are taken into account for its long term preservation. John is an incredibly wise resource and we are honored that he will take the time to access the condition of the masonry wall and the building at large for this project. Deborah has worked with most of the major Wall Paintings Conservators in the United States including Leslie Rainer, in Los Angeles, and Arthur Page, in Washington DC. Miss Uhl has also worked part time for the past 6 years with Evergreene Architectural Arts, the largest decorative painting company in the world. The Evergreene projects have required overcoming the logistics of working in some of the largest interior spaces in the country including capital buildings, theatres, and cathedrals. Deborah has performed investigative paint studies side by side with Leslie Rainer, Evergreene, as well as on her own subcontracted projects through The Collaboratives Inc. Deborah has conserved wall paintings on exterior masonry walls in Malibu, CA. (Adamson House with Rainer and Zebala Partners), Venice, CA (Whale of a Mural with Rainer and Zebala Partners) and in Omaha, Nebraska (Faraway Lands mural with Ethereality, Uhl's Private Practice). Deborah obtained hundreds of hours of practice consolidating water damaged wall paintings during the treatment of the Psi Upsilon Murals at Cornell University with Susan Blakney of the West Lake Conservators. She helped develop the consolidation protocol for stabilizing the acrylic paint flakes to cinder block walls in a fraternity Auditorium. The extent of the damage and paint foss was even more extensive than that of the Coca -cola sign. Deborah is also familiar with the specific environmental conditions impacting murals locally in our dry mountainous region. She treated two different series of Allen True murals in downtown Denver in Capital Park and in the exterior lobbies of the AT&T building alongside Conservators at the Western Center for the Conservation of Fine Art. Deborah has been working closely with J. Claire Dean, of Dean and Associates, on archeological sites in the western United States since 2004. This Archeological Conservation work on pictograph (indigenous paintings on rock surfaces) sites informs this masonry sign project because of the similarity of issues relating to paint on stone substrates exposed to environmental conditions.

D E B O R A H U H L: PAINTING C O N S E R V A T O R TREATMENT REPORT, CONVD. PAGE 4 or 6 SIGN CONSERVATION TREATMENT PROPOSAL 1. The wall painting will be examined thoroughly under normal lighting conditions. 2. The masonry substrate will be accessed by The Collaborative Inc. to ensure the long term stability of the wall. 3. Photographic and written documentation will identify all of the treatment steps and conditions observed during the conservation process. 4. Very small paint samples will be obtained in discrete locations to identify the historical paint scheme and its material components. 5. The paint samples will be analyzed under the microscope and with microchemical tests. 6. Materials suitable for the project will be thoroughly researched and assembled for testing. 7. Cleaning tests will be performed along the edge of the wall painting to determine a cleaning protocol. 8. Tests will be made using appropriate consolidants and varnishes compatible with the original paint and mortar substrate. 9. The materials and the treatment protocol will be determined for the final treatment. 10. A follow up site visit may be made before the final treatment phase to assess the condition of the treatment areas. 11. The painting will be surface cleaned to the extent possible without affecting the paint layer beneath it. Any varnish or overpaint will be removed as much as is safely possible. 12. Areas of paint loss will be locally consolidated along their edges with an adhesive to be determined during testing.' 13. The paint layers will be consolidated overall to resaturate the chalky oxidized paint surface and stabilize the paint layers to each other. A dilute solution of the consolidant will allow the consolidant to penetrate through the paint layers to consolidate the paint to the masonry substrate. 14. The painting will be varnished with a synthetic varnish with UV stabilizers if one is deemed appropriate. 15. The signature block and other large loss areas may be inpainted with appropriate materials if time allows. 16. The written and photographic documentation will be assembled into the final report.

It is nice to see that the community is paying attention to the historical elements in the urban landscape that need attention to ensure that they do not disappear before our eyes. Congratulations on receiving the State Historical Fund Grant for this project. The marketing history of Coca-Cola throughout its years is quite fascinating. They were quite ingenious with their "privilege" signs and were truly forerunners to the consumer culture of today. Coca-Cola also hired a lot of artists and designers throughout the years to help "brand" them from sign painters to illustrators. And now Conservators keep their spirit alive along with that of the "Mom and Pop" delicatessen that occupied this historic building. I am glad to see that a guard rail and plaque will be in place to help prevent damages and to educate the public and allow them to step back in time. It would be a great honor to spearhead this rehabilitation project for you. Please feel free to contact me by email or phone if you have any questions or concerns.
