The Black's Building at 501 Sycamore Street anchors a block of downtown Waterloo. It's a historic building with a lot of history behind it and a lot of masonry to look after.

Downtown buildings like this share walls, rooflines and drainage with their neighbors, so a problem on one building rarely stays on one building. Keeping the masonry sound protects the whole block.

We completed masonry work on the Black's Building to keep the historic walls in good shape for the building's next chapter.

This is the kind of work we do on historic buildings in Waterloo.
