922 Walnut Street — granite and terra-cotta façade stabilization
Kansas City, Missouri, USA · 2015
Problem
A historic commercial façade was experiencing lateral movement in its ornamental stone and terra-cotta elements.
CINTEC solution
Custom anchors were designed for the facade stone and terra-cotta assembly, producing a low-impact stabilization strategy.
Technical notes
This project is a useful example of façade stabilization where visible architectural ornament needs to be preserved while the underlying masonry is reinforced.
Result
The façade was stabilized without compromising the historic appearance of the building entrance and façade composition.
