The Historical significance required sensitive and technically capable professionals to assist in this rehabilitation process.
Details:
The first phase of work required for the replacement of all roofs, gutters, and downspouts; restoration of street facing curved window units; repair and stabilization of masonry surfaces and structures; with wood panel shutters at windows, many had to be replaced due to missing or deterioration beyond repair. The window and panel shutter work required the hiring of specialists. Architects worked with these craftsmen in their shops to ensure accurate replacement pieces.
