We are about to start restoration on the second of the historical Mackay Horses of Marly, “The Horse Tamer”, which resided in front of Roslyn High School for several years where it was beloved by the Roslyn Community.

So where do “stone people” go on holiday? Well to a city of stone of course. Hugh and I spent some down time in Oaxaca Mexico, a beautiful ancient city founded in 1529, but the area has been inhabited since prehistoric times.

He was looking for old world craftsmanship and top quality expertise for a 35,000 square foot private estate he is building in Virginia, about an hour outside of Washington, DC. We [...]
For 30 years, NSAS has been moving stone. We’re proud of our capability to move almost any size sculpture or statuary, but we’ve never moved an obelisk! When Hugh heard about a book signing recently at CW Post for a new book, Cleopatra’s Needle, Moving Egypt’s Obelisks, he couldn’t get there fast enough. The author, [...]
