Stucco at King's Dominion

| Is it stone ? Fake stones were done in place by hand using 2 colors of integral colored portland cement mortar. | Multi colored Mexican villa has both
painted and colored cement mortar. Fine workmanship done in the 1970's is still in excellent condition today. |

| A system of gutters and downspouts protect the wall. Cement
stucco
should last forever provided water doesn't get behind the wall. |
Arches and decorative designs. |

| Top shows a painted dash on finish and bottom has a mashed potato type texture. | Stains around scuppers accent the fact that this is real stucco. Scuppers mimic New Mexico style "vigas" used on adobe or block buildings. |

| Fake stone quoins are hand sculptured cement. | Niche was done in place with forms. Note cast stucco details at top. |
 |
 |
| Vaulted ceiling is on the money. Arches have a lace style texture. | A float finish with colored cement mortar. |

| Color cement is like icing on a cake. | Mountains were made with re-bar, diamond mesh metal lath and sprayed on cement mortar. |
