Led by plaster repair professional Greg Colina, the team from Old World Plastering in Cincinnati, OH, has garnered a reputation among historical-building owners as the go-to source for exceptional craftsmanship. Using their unique approach which blends “old-school quality with today’s technology,” their skilled team has been contracted to repair one of Indiana’s most stunning historical sites, Veraestau.

Situated near and overlooking the Ohio River in Aurora, IN, this stately home has origins extending more than 200 years into the past. When he acquired the property in 1810, original owner Jesse Holman dubbed it “Veraestau,” a term combining the Latin words for spring, summer, and fall.

The sprawling, 116-acre site was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in the early 1970s. Then, in 2004, it was gifted to Indiana Landmarks and is now used as the organization’s Southeast Field Office. The breathtaking site is now a coveted destination for weddings and other special events.

Of course, more than 200 years of activity will take its toll on a building. As such, Veraestau needs plaster repair to restore the dwelling to its former glory. However, performing historical preservation is no small feat. A proper restoration requires the utmost level of attention to detail, as careful precision is necessary to avoid compromising any aspects of the building’s original properties.

Thus, it should come as no surprise that the experienced, family-run business Old World Plastering was chosen to carry out the restoration. As with every job, Greg will be onsite to oversee the completion of the Veraestau job, ensuring every detail is handled according to Indiana Landmarks’ specific requirements.
