Eddystone Condominiums | Chicago, IL
Client: LaThomus Property Services
Consultant: Klein & Hoffman, Inc.
Assignment: Masonry Restoration
Duration: 2 years
Project Value: $945,000.00
Located in the quaint Lakeview neighborhood, the Eddystone Condominium required another phase of an ongoing repair program. This main aspect of the project required rebuilding the deteriorating perimeter parapet walls on three elevations. The parapet walls sat atop limestone belt-coursing with large stones that had to be removed to access the underlying structural steel. Due to the large size of the stones, a special hoist was engineered and constructed in order to complete the removal and resetting of the stones. The remaining aspects of the project included stone replacements, brick masonry repair and tuckpointing.
