PMR’s expert craftsmen gave a facelift to the circa 1896 historic limestone Vanderbilt Mansion. Our team cleaned the base of the building, disassembled four portico bases and steps, and replaced the concrete substructure. With a goal of being as eco-friendly as possible, portions were rebuilt using both salvaged and new limestone.
