Boston, MA – Eagle Restoration & Contracting, Inc. recently completed restorative
work to preserve the aesthetic beauty and structural integrity at 35 Commonwealth
Ave., home of Bay State College’s historic campus.
In 2004, Bay State College reached out to the specialists at Eagle Restoration, a full
service roofing and weatherproofing company, to complete a partial phase restoration
project. Eagle removed, repaired and replaced the existing slate mansard and installed new copper trim flashings, wood trims and copper step flashings on the front
and rear elevations at 121 Commonwealth Avenue.
Fast forward to 2010 and Bay State College again calls upon Eagle Restoration for
its next phase of its restoration project with similar scope of work, including period
details and special attention to the architecturally unique aspects of the facades. “This
project presented unique challenges as we worked to artfully restore the degradation
of the sandstone while maintaining the historical integrity of the façade”, says Eagle’s
President, George F. Sennott, Jr. Rotted wood trim at the windows and fascia were
removed and replaced, along with complete removal and copper replacement of gutter
and downspout assemblies.
