A SPARKLING GIFT FOR TOWN'S 300TH
2006
Overview
[Arturo Vasquez] and [Harold Brown] also discussed a more ambitious approach to the \"missing tooth\" problem: adding one or more floors to the building. The monument does not foreclose that possibility, both men said. \"The foundation is built in such a manner that we could raise it and add another story,\" Brown said. If a transformation does come, it will owe much to David Tonnesen, who fabricated the monument in his Somerville workshop. \"It should last a millennium or two,\" said Tonnesen, whose previous work includes the menorah atop the Temple Ohabei Shalom on Beacon Street. He also has fashioned lighting fixtures for about 40 Boston- area restaurants. Tonnesen's contributions to the monument included making the structure leaner and making its finish brighter. \"I probably shaved a ton off the weight\" through refinements of Vasquez's design, Tonnesen said.
