We undertook spot pointing with lime mortar in deteriorated areas, repairing the copper gutter system to ensure a watertight exterior, stained glass repair, and repairing the plaster on the inside that was damaged due to water intrusion from the gutter.
We restored elements of the roof, the exterior envelope and front porch, windows and doors, as well as the first floor's Council Chambers and dining room.
The Durable Restoration Company replaced the two damaged spires at First Presbyterian Church.
The Durable Restoration Company restored the stone's exterior using historically appropriate mortar, preventing any further water infiltration, restoring the building's magnificent exterior.
