Palmer House at 208 N. Perry Street in Davenport is a historic Italianate brick home with an ornate cornice, dormers, stone arch headers and a columned porch.

We completed stone repair and tuckpointing on the house. On a building like this, the historic details are worth saving, not replacing. The stone arch headers over the windows are a big part of the house's character, and careful repair keeps them in place.

Tuckpointing with care for the original joints keeps the brick looking right and the walls weathertight.

This is the kind of work we do on historic buildings in Davenport: stone repair and tuckpointing.
