The lodge at Clear Lake State Park, 6490 S. Shore Drive, is a historic limestone building built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, with a round pavilion set in an oak grove near the lake.

CCC-era stonework is a piece of Iowa history, and the repairs should respect it. We cleaned the stone, then completed stone repair and tuckpointing.

Cleaning first lets you see the true condition of the stone. Then repairs and new mortar can be matched to the original so the lodge keeps its historic look.

This is the kind of work we do on public buildings across Iowa: building cleaning, stone repair and tuckpointing.
