Yonge Street bank building restored

From time to time, the owners of this former bank building have asked us to look at various elements of their property. Our most recent engagement involved replacing some of the decorative corbels and masonry which had spalled due to roof leakage. We chose a 50-year paint coating (Dow Corning Allguard) on the previously painted elements. We also addressed a challenge inherent to the building's north facade being butted against a hillock where the railway line runs. There's a wild space there where too many trees were overlapping the property line. By removing approximately 40 smallish stems (four to eight inches in diameter), we were able to provide the area with more light, provide better air movement, and a dryer micro-climate, thereby making it a more pleasant space.
