Abbot restores brick facade of Needham Bank branch

Needham Bank - Needham, MA

Needham, MA Abbot was contracted by the general contractor, Delphi Construction, to restore the façade of the Needham Bank facility. This involved cleaning the brick and cast stone, repointing all of the brick with matching mortar, and repairing and replacing the stone as required.

In early 2015, the Needham Bank owners decided to embark on a 3-phase renovation project at the at 1063 Great Plain Ave. location, encompassing restoration of the interior and exterior, constructing a new entrance from the parking lot side, and a building a new operation center. 

The most complex part of the project involved the three large arched windows on the side of the main building. The two outer windows had a pre-cast stone section under the windows whereas the middle window had brick.  To establish a consistent appearance, Abbot removed the existing brick from under the middle window, and installed pre-cast stone that was fabricated to match the shape and color of the stone under the windows on either side.
