The cornice was repaired and re-attached<\/a> to the masonry. It was time to call the mason back to finish the brick work on the front parapet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parapet repair behind the cornice was all done using common brick<\/a>. From the cornice tie-in upwards, we switched to Roman face brick. The same brick that was used below on the front fa\u00e7ade. Lucky for us, there is one company left in the Midwest (the Belden Brick Company), that still manufactures Roman face brick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we didn\u2019t just use Roman face brick. To keep with the architecture of the facade below, we integrated graystone into the front parapet. This is the graystone that I salvaged a few years back<\/a> from buildings that were torn down nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
