The Whitehall Hotel had extensive deterioration of the brick and Terra Cotta facade. Mid/America was contracted to replace 1900 linear feet of shelf angle and lintels, along with 25,000 brick.  The entire facade was tuckpointed and recaulked.

The Democratic Convention schedule required completion within 90 days. Mid/America is currently under contract to restore the balance of the building under a multi year program.

The Barclay Condominiums experienced water infiltration problems as a result of material and methods used in the original construction.

Less than ten years old, Mid/America replaced all of the mortar joints, and applied a water repellent at a cost of more than one million dollars.

This brick and limestone structure dates to the 1890's.  Early this century a simulated stone finish made of cement plaster, was applied to the brick. Removal of the cement plaster revealed that the brick was damaged beyond repair. Mid/America removed the damaged outer wythe of brick on the entire facade. Using historic photographs and dimensions of the inner wythe, the facade was reconstructed to match the original.
