Restoration
This building on Center Street had a tabby stucco finish.
A decision to lay brick to cover the stucco was quickly put to rest when
we discovered that there is a well preserved brick wall beneath.
Once the stucco was removed, we began removing the damaged mortar
and replacing with new, added some column detail with an
arched profile for the entrance with brick to match.
notice the faded lettering on the brick,
locally known as 'ghost writings'
Brick wall below shows partial (lower area) with new mortar replaced, the upper area is preped for new mortar
