At the Story Chapel at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, MA, we carried out an extensive masonry restoration project to preserve the historic integrity of this iconic structure. The work involved meticulously documenting, salvaging, and rebuilding the upper third of the chapel tower and all its buttresses using authentic Locharbriggs Brownstone. This careful restoration process ensured that the original architectural character was maintained while enhancing the structural stability of the tower.
Over the course of three years, the project was executed in three phases to fully restore the chapel’s exterior. This included a 100% cut, point, and clean effort on the entire structure, revitalizing its appearance and safeguarding it from further weathering and deterioration. The restoration of Story Chapel underscores our expertise in handling complex historic masonry projects, blending craftsmanship with preservation techniques to honor the legacy of this treasured landmark.
