Originally constructed in 1896, the exterior walls of this building had been deteriorating over an extended period of time and multiple attempts at repair had occurred over the years. Pertinent issues for this project were to preserve the historic fabric of the structure, slow the deterioration of the building components, maintain and/or restore the watertight integrity of the building envelope, and meet the aesthetic requirements of the Union PSCE. Gale investigated and evaluated the condition and quality of the exterior masonry walls, particularly the brownstone, brick, and terra-cotta elements and provided a comprehensive report.
