Before & After
The Process

Extensive repairs to the exterior facade began in September 2004. The defective stucco was identified and removed. The repair work exposed the existence of an original steeple of bricks that was not integrally incorporated within the exterior steeple. In addition, the brick work in both steeples had deteriorated substantially. Over 1500 spiral locks and 500 stitching rods were installed in order to attach, stabilize and reinforce the original historical brick and secondary brick work throughout the steeple area. Once the stabilization was complete, the historical restoration work was completed by replacing historical bricks as required, tuck pointing and applying a historically correct stucco mixture to the exterior.
