Dura Art Stone's portfolio of successfully completed projects, extending nationwide for over 80 years, bears witness to our European heritage and focus on architecturally unique and structurally complex uses of Architectural Precast Concrete, Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, and Glascrete, a proprietary simulated concrete material. Dura Art Stone traces its history to 1935 when Bruno Mariani, an accomplished Italian model maker and craftsman, quickly established himself as a leading source of Ornamental Cast Plaster and Cast Stone in San Francisco, CA. One of Bruno’s early works at the Pulgas Water Temple in Redwood City, CA, completed in 1941, remains beautiful and functional to this day.
