• Tuckpointing, stone honing dress back and retooling, masonry cleaning, and stone patch repairs 
• Complex Dutchman repairs on sandstone fluted columns
• Careful dismantling, salvage, and replacement of sandstone courses at the foundation level that involved mending processes for stone with significant damage from original ferrous anchors
