We are having our wedding reception at the Fort Shelby in just a few weeks, and I must say I'm so excited about the venue!

THERE WAS AN ARTICLE in the Detroit News, I believe, that interviewed the woman who was doing the stencil work to replicate the look of the plaster, as the work was ongoing in either '07 or '08. I know it was posted here. I quickly went back through the old forum archive to try to dig it up, with no luck. Perhaps someone else can take a look for it. I'll take a rehabbed, occupied Fort Shelby any day minus some plaster over a derelict empty non-contributing historic structure any day.
I remember seeing an article in one of the local papers online. It was in one of the articles about the Fort Shelby renovation.

The particular article was printed in February 2008, however it's not available to read online for free. The artist's name is Kathleen Spicer and she was working out of Yonkers, NY.

You finally found a tread to reply to.
Found a old thread dealing with the subject.
And maybe you're referring to this link.\
Another link.
The rest of the article is a dead link, but HURRAHH!! for the internet archive!
Still on the net, the full article.
