The Rookery, designed in 1888 by Burnham and Root, holds a local and national landmark status. During a critical façade inspection K&H indentified areas of distress that required repair and restoration. The technological challenges of the building construction required innovative restoration techniques. A two-phased rehabilitation work plan was developed. Corner turrets and the west parapet wall were restored under the initial phase. Phase two addressed deficiencies on the remaining portions of the building.
