New York Courthouse restoration draws high praise

Abstract

Originally built between 1861 and 1881, the Tweed Courthouse in New York underwent an extensive restoration effort that spanned over the course of more than a decade. The restoration, which involved new marble from the Georgia Marble Co of Tate GA and new granite from Granite Importers of Barre VT--was honored with a Tucker Award from the Building Stone Institute. The renovation and restoration of Tweed Courthouse are detailed.
