27 May restoration continues on howells and hood’s tribune tower
i’ve spent nearly a year now documenting exterior restoration work (i.e., repair and/or replacement of bedford limestone) on howells and hood’s tribune tower completed in 1925. i need to see it through, so i’m sure i will be returning time and again throughout 2019.
a few other buildings i’ve devoted several months photo-documenting, include the terra cotta restoration of giaver and dinkelberg’s jewelers building (1927) and gerhardt’s cook county hospital (1916). the former is drawing to a close, but the latter – last photographed in october of 2018 after the white glazed terra cotta was cleaned – will resume when the tarp or thick plastic sheeting shrouding the facade is removed.
