Kolb Studio — clings to the edge of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, in Grand Canyon Village, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.
It was the home and photographic studio of Grand Canyon pioneers, Emery and Ellsworth Kolb, and was begun in 1904.
Today, this historic studio is open year-round. It contains an exhibit hall, bookstore, and information center operated by the Grand Canyon Association.

Repair and replacement of log and shingle siding - in some cases the original materials are coaxed back into place with improved fasteners, and when this isn't possible it is replaced by hand tooling new siding to match the original piece. The work of cutting and shaping the new pieces is taking place right in front of the Kolb Garage, where the public can view the process. GCA Photo by Terri Attridge.
Project
During 2013 and 2014, with help from donors, GCA is in the process of rehabilitating this valuable piece of Grand Canyon History in order to keep it available for generations to come.

Addressing structural degradation of Kolb Studio by:
a) rectifying drainage problems from public sidewalks and corresponding retaining walls,
b) stabilizing the concrete entranceway to assure safe continuing access to the facility
c) repairing and replacing exterior building features (e.g. log and shingle siding, structural beams, gutters, wooden porches) in order to assure long-term structural integrity of the building and
d) protecting restored exterior surfaces with paints, sealants and other coatings.
