Cincinnati City Hall Restoration

Elevar (SFA) researched the original 18^th century construction documents to provide design recommendations for the restoration. Using original specifications and period photographs, the exterior was restored after more than a century of weathering, damage and alterations. Tiles from the original manufacturer were installed over a modern substrate to provide a 75-year roof. Masonry was restored, re-pointed, and weatherproofed where necessary. Weathered cast iron was replaced and galvanized finials and gating were installed after more than a 50-year absence to allow a return to the original design intent. In addition, we created working drawings for repair and replacement of the existing tower windows.
