Deteriorating Limestone on Historic Bank Building Restored
Historic restoration experts Western Specialty Contractors, Springfield branch, recently completed a two-month project to repair the limestone base of landmark Illinois National Bank in Springfield, Ill.
Located in the city's prominent historical section, just blocks from President Abraham Lincoln's home and the Old State Capitol, the building's limestone base had deteriorated over time due to age, weathering and salts/deicers applied to the concrete sidewalks and streets adjacent to the building.
