Show Notes
Winter restoration efforts are underway at the historic San Xavier Mission in Tucson, with local restorers Timothy Lewis and Matilde Rubio leading the charge. Their team is carefully removing layers of concrete added in the 1950s, which caused serious damage to the original bricks. Once the concrete is gone, theyll apply lime plaster and restore the facade to its original white and gray tone with subtle hints of color. Details like a carved cat and a damaged statue are also getting fresh attention. The project is expected to wrap by Easter, but two more years of winter work lie ahead.
