2233 3rd Avenue

2233 3rd Avenue in Marion is a historic two-story brick building along the street.

We tuckpointed the building, working from scaffolding along the front. On historic brick, the mortar matters. Old brick is often softer than modern brick, and hard modern mortar can damage it over time. The new mortar has to suit the old brick.

Done right, tuckpointing protects a historic building for decades and keeps its original look.

This is the kind of work we do on historic buildings in Marion: tuckpointing.
