Last year, the Rochester Cemeteries Heritage Foundation Board of Trustees decided to restore the distinguished 22 foot Civil War monument in Mount Hope Cemetery as a demonstration project to show the type of improvements and restorations that are needed in the cemetery.

The Civil War Memorial in Section BB at the intersection of Grove and Firemens Avenues was dedicated on September 25, 1908. Over those 96 years, the bronze sculpture of a soldier carrying the Union flag and standing beside the company's bugle boy had deteriorated to the point where the bronze metal was pitted with holes and the cooper in the bronze had created an irregular green patina on the surface of the metal. Similarly, the bronze plaque below the sculpture had also discolored to the point of making the inscription difficult to read. The sculpture is the work of Sally James Farnham (1869-1943), who studied with Frederic Remington until he died in 1909. In 1908, Remington visited the Roman Bronze Works in Brooklyn where Farnham was casting the Mount Hope Civil War Memorial. After the visit, Remington wrote, "Sally Farnham there. She has a dandy two-figure group soldier monument." James Polmenteer, a bronze restoration expert, was hired to undertake the restoration project. With the assistance of bronze experts at the Smithsonian Institution and consultations with a Massachusetts firm that has restored many bronze sculptures, Polmenteer and an assistant began the renovation task. After a scaffold was built around the monument to afford easy access, the sculpture and its stone base were cleaned using a power wash that included ammonium sulfite. This thoroughly cleaned the bronze metal and removed the green patina. Then the laborious task of plugging the pinholes with bronze nails began. The exposed ends of these pins were filed to form a smooth fit with the surrounding metal. Finally, to bring out the bronze color of the sculpture, seven coats of a special colored wax were applied and buffed. The repaired memorial was revealed early in September 2003. To maintain the monument in the future, its condition will be evaluated every five years. Generally, the treatment of that the Mount Hope Civil War Memorial received should last between 25 to 30 years before another cleaning and waxing is needed. (ROR)
