On the first floor of the Telephone Building, crews completed a careful repair of damaged and missing interior brick. In several areas, portions of the wall had degraded, with damaged or mismatched bricks around windows.
Because the white brick used inside the building is no longer manufactured, masons had to take a unique approach: they carefully extracted original bricks from hidden sections of the interior wall for reuse in visible repairs.
Crews reused these original bricks in visible areas where repairs were most needed, preserving the building’s historical character.
Masons refilled those areas with new, fortified brick to maintain the structural integrity of the wall. This combination of reuse and reinforcement helps to ensure that the building will remain strong while still retaining its original appearance.
Brick around the windows at the Telephone Building is reset using matching original materials.
