Historic front steps — rebuilt in matching limestone.
312 Masonry replaced a full set of broken historic front steps with new decorative limestone, matching the original design and dimensions so the entry keeps its historic character.
Project description.
The building's historic front steps had broken beyond repair. 312 Masonry replaced them entirely with new decorative limestone, rigged and set with a boom lift given the size and weight of the new stone.
Every new piece was cut and finished to match the original design and dimensions, so the rebuilt entry reads as original to the building rather than an obvious repair.
Scope of work.
- Removed all broken original front steps.
- Fabricated new decorative limestone steps to match the historic design.
- Rigged and set the new limestone steps with a boom lift.
- Finished the entry to the same dimensions as the original.
