Exterior work included rebuilding, repairing, and re-pointing the brick walls and stone foundation using traditional lime based mortar. The masonry was surfaced cleaned to halt deterioration with low-pressure water and soft bristle brushes.  We also selectively hand cleaned deteriorated joints and re-pointed to match existing to reflect the original texture, craftsmanship, style.  Salvaged soft brick was used where appropriate to supplement the many missing or deteriorated bricks.
