Stone & Lime was awarded the restoration of the Easton Building, located in Boston, MA. Interior work includes replacing
the existing steam heating system; replacing the existing emergency generator; installing new light fixtures; and repair of
finishes throughout the building. Exterior work includes the removal, restoration and reinstallation of 60% of the granite
cladding stones; repair of the steel backup for the masonry façade and framing system; repointing mortar joints; and
cleaning the masonry façade. Additional exterior work includes repairs to steel columns and beams in deteriorated
