The Wellington fountain was erected in 1865 in the Neo-Classical style by public subscription to commemorate the visits of the Duke of Wellington to Bombay. The two tiered octagonal fountain was conceived in different materials - Basalt stone for its main construction, marble for its 8 bas relief panels and the upper most shaft of cast iron with acanthus leaves ornamentation topped with a slender brass shaft. The material and the ornamentation details were revealed on removal of multiple layers of paint from the surface which was the main task involved. The tiled dado over the steps and external face of the ground trough at few places were removed to expose the original basalt steps. The removal of paint from basalt was done with sophisticated mechanical means while the marble cleaning was done by professional conservators. The metal shaft was painted matching grey and highlighted in golden paint. The brass finial was also exposed.

The fountain is a fusion of water, architecture and sculpture depicting the Roman goddess Flora built in 1864 by the Agri-horticultural Society of Western India. Flora fountain is a multi-tiered symmetrical structure placed in a shallow circular basin. The project aims at reviving the water engineering of the fountain and restoring the same. It also aims on attending to ill-informed interventions done during the past including sculpting of the missing parts of the sculptures. Several leakages happening through the stone joints and water trays have been rectified. The soiled and painted surfaces are being cleaned by team of very experienced conservators from INTACH. The circular trough is now clad with Italian marble. The Phase I of the project is the restoration of the most iconic Grade I landmark of Mumbai and the Phase II involves the enhancement of its surrounding which will be undertaken soon.

The Bomanjee Hormarjee Wadia clock tower and fountain was built in 1882 as a commemorative fountain in honour of Bomanjee Hormarjee Wadia who had contributed largely towards the service of the city. The architecture has influence of Assyrian or Persepolis style as seen in winged bull reliefs on all facades and acanthus leaf cornice; built in Malad and Kurla stone. The structure was unsafe and on verge of collapse with its slab resting on TW joist failing and the clock tower leaning out with cornices pushed apart from the original location due to vegetation growth. The challenging part of the project was to restore the entire structure together which was falling apart. The clock was restored, the painted and soiled surfaces were cleaned giving new life to the almost ruinous structure symbolised by the re-ticking of the clock.

This 16th century church is a very significant church from an architectural and art historic point of view. The church was originally called as the Friary de San Antonio (Church of St. Anthony) and was constructed in c. 1582 A.D., as such; it can claim to be older even than the Taj Mahal (c 1630 AD).
The church was built in “Baroque Style” of architecture, which was a characteristic of the Portuguese built churches during this era. However over the recent decades the church underwent few interventions which underplayed the heritage character.
An inspection of the church was carried out by us and the repairs and restoration process commenced in 2014. The interventions aimed at a sensitive approach to retain the historicity of the church while incorporating services for modern day needs.
The conservation work took 18 months and commenced with roof repairs ensuring that the building be made watertight. Specialized works such as reconstruction of the pulpit canopy and porch main carved door, gold gilding to restore the former glory of the main altar and side altars and the pulpit; replacement the flooring to match the original were carried out. Redoing of the plaster in lime to revive the lost tradition of lime works were carried out.
While undertaking the works, part of an original stone vaulting with floral motifs was found beneath the existing timber vault. This was like an archaeological discovery of importance and it was decided to respect this by exposing parts of it for viewing.
On 20th September 2015, the 432 year old church was reopened to the faithful by Rev Cardinal Oswald Gracias and is now one of the prime restored heritage landmarks of Thane.
