Historic Restoration

Albert Einstein Medical Center

Prepared and developed construction documents for the removal and storage of six historic columns. Standing 30 feet and weighing 28,000 lbs, the columns were originally designed by William Strickland. The columns were part of the United States Mint in downtown Philadelphia and later donated to the hospital in 1904.

These columns were originally constructed in the 1800's.

This building was constructed in the early 1930's. TKG's scope of work consisted of: evaluating the existing facade, repairing construction documents, and bidding facade repairs for the Rogers building.

The building facade consisted of colonial red brick, limestone cornices/window headers, brownstone quoins/window headers, and wood windows. Several pieces of the limestone balustrade on the sixth, eighth, and ninth floor were deteriorated and required immediate stabilization. In addition, TKG performed a wood window survey report and repair matrix.
