Dorchester Heights Monument

The hardscape renovation involved replacing deteriorated concrete walkways, stairs, ramps, and retaining walls, along with installing new handrails and modifying the existing entrance fencing. Pole light fixtures were retrofitted with updated luminaries. Monument restoration included repairing the foundation's superstructure, replacing structural floor framing and topping slabs, and restoring, cleaning, and repointing brick, marble, and granite elements. Additionally, all roofing and flashings were replaced. Over 1,000 pieces of stone were meticulously labeled, documented, lowered to grade, restored, and reinstalled using modern seismic anchoring techniques. All work adhered to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Historic Preservation, ensuring the proper treatment of this historic property.
