West Gable Wall Reconstruction

The West Gable Wall showed signs of cracking and the stones on the inside had become loose and detached (West Gable Wall and West Gable Wall contd.)).  The pictures below show the demolition and reconstruction of the wall.  A 4 inch thick, steel reinforced concrete wall was to be cast from the ground floor all the way up to the roof line.  However the condition of the remaining wall was so bad we had to thicken the wall and include integral beams and columns.  Once the wall was complete the stones were reattached to the front to achieve the same appearance.
