Façade Restoration
Syracuse, NY
Large areas of the original decorative concrete façade were crumbling and deteriorated and there were structural concerns with lintels at window bays. Bell & Spina, working with the New York State Historic Preservation Office selected replacement windows and doors which matched the original 1931 units. The façade restoration solution included removal of precast concrete panels, replacement of window lintels, cleaning the concrete, repointing brick masonry joints, and cleaning and recaulking deteriorated joints in the limestone.
