Upon discovery of the existing cornice and its condition to be severe, STONE scoped the replacement of the existing cornice with new GRFC. Working closely with LPC, we managed to reduce the load of the new cornice as well as retain the existing look and its beauty. 

In addition to cornice replacement, STONE also scoped the replacement of any existing, damaged sections of terra cotta found thoughout our close up visual inspections. 

STONE focused on all facades of the building, rebuilding sections of existing masonry corners that have been found to be cracked, spalling, or failing. 

STONE scoped the replacement of any damaged window sills with new tinted pre-cast concrete at secondary facades to aesthetically match the adjacent marble sills.

In addition to large-scale masonry replacement, STONE also focused on the smaller areas that required attention and remediation due to spalling, cracking, or weathered masonry.
