Lincoln Street

179 Lincoln Street is a historic property located in Boston’s leather district. Built in 1899, it was the recipient of a 2009 Preservation Achievement Award from the Boston Preservation Alliance. In 2013 Patriot started a multi-year preservation program under the oversight of Wessling Architects. The scope of the project involves the replacement and waterproofing of deteriorated structural steel lintels, masonry reconstruction at jack arches, masonry repointing, cast iron repairs and painting, along with the replacement of all exterior sealants. The combination of facade materials ranging from terra cotta, limestone, granite, cast iron and brick, along with ornate carved stone detailing, results in an interesting mosaic of textures on this building’s facade.
