Supreme Court of Virginia Facade Restoration

This building was constructed in four separate sections, beginning in 1919 and ending in 1950. Originally housing the Federal Reserve Bank, it was later purchased by the Commonwealth of Virginia and converted to become the Supreme Court of Virginia. The exterior facade suffered from years of very little preventative maintenance, requiring restoration of the aged building.

The project included repair and repainting of steel window components, replacement of broken glass, removal of paint from windows, re-caulking of the interior and exterior of windows and minor plaster repairs of window openings. The stone masonry facade was painted and repaired and all sheet metal water table flashings were replaced. Site work also included new foundation drainage, foundation waterproofing and replacement of exterior sealants between the sidewalks and building.

The building needed to remain occupied and operational throughout the entire project, so the project was divided into multiple areas to minimize disruptions. Interior and exterior work was performed concurrently and work in unoccupied areas was done during non-critical times.
