RestoreWorks Returns to Chicago's Iconic Civic Opera House for Historic Preservation
RestoreWorks Masonry Restoration is currently working on a significant project at the Lyric Opera House of Chicago, also known as the Civic Opera House. This project marks a return to the historic landmark, where RestoreWorks first made its mark three decades ago.
A Legacy of Restoration
Thirty years ago, RestoreWorks had the privilege of restoring the Opera House's river wall, which had been blackened by years of soot accumulation. Through careful cleaning techniques, our team successfully brought the limestone facade back to its original look, revealing the building's true appearance.
Continuing the Commitment to Preservation
Fast forward to today, and RestoreWorks is back at this iconic landmark. Our current project focuses on essential maintenance work at the roof level, including:
- Tuckpointing: Repairing and replacing mortar joints to prevent water infiltration and structural damage.
- Caulking: Sealing gaps and joints to improve the building's weatherproofing and energy efficiency.
These important tasks ensure that the Civic Opera House remains structurally sound and visually appealing for years to come.
The RestoreWorks Difference
Our return to the Lyric Opera House demonstrates RestoreWorks' commitment to quality and our deep understanding of historic preservation techniques. As our company’s CEO, Don Zuidema, stated, "It's just an honor and a privilege to be working here on such a historic landmark in Chicago."
