Restoration crews completed a full repointing of the Telephone Building’s brick façade. The project involved removing and replacing over 5,880 linear feet of mortar joints—nearly a mile in length.
Crews carefully matched mortar color and composition to maintain historic authenticity. Bricks damaged beyond repair were replaced with units matched for size, color and texture. The result was a unified façade that preserved the material character of the original construction while enhancing structural integrity.
This work highlighted the balance of art and science required in historic masonry preservation.
