Restoring the Legacy: A History of Stone RestorationBy Frederick M. Hueston

Stone wears down. This book brings it back.

From ancient polishing techniques to the modern art of diamond honing, Restoring the Legacy tells the story of how stone restoration became a legitimate trade in the U.S.—and the people who made it happen.

Written by industry veteran Fred Hueston, this is part personal journey, part historical record, and part field manual. You’ll read about the early days when no one knew how to fix a scratched marble floor, the rise of crystallization (and the fights that followed), and how training programs finally gave technicians the skills and standards they needed.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, you'll find stories, insights, and even a few war stories that’ll make you nod your head—or shake it.

Includes:

• The roots of modern stone restoration in the U.S.

• Key contributors and innovations

• A behind-the-scenes look at training, tools, and techniques

• Controversies like crystallization and coatings

• Bonus material: interviews, horror stories, and restoration tips

If you’ve ever held a buffer, mixed a poultice, or argued over grit sequences, this book was written for you.
