Historic
Building: 89 Hillsboro Street, cont.
Window
Restoration: All windows were historically rebuilt by Darrel
Tracy. The final windows are original to the building. Window
frame repairs are done using Smith & Company Restoration Epoxy.
The
Process: Deep Rot is removed and the remaining structure
repaired by soaking the wood with a Penetrating Epoxy Sealer,
and then filling the voids with wood blocks and Restoration
Epoxy mixtures - sometimes up to two quarts of epoxy and a week's
worth of labor are required per window.
Finished
Result: When dry, this epoxy makes a chemical bond with
the finished paint making a beautiful seal.
The
land outback and rear entrance to the building were used to optimize
the City Tap beer garden. A deck was built and a courtyard added.
The
City Tap owners added wonderful décor and a beautiful bar.
