This project included replacement of the decorative copper parapet at 581 Boylston Street after significant water infiltration and failure of the existing substructure. The existing copper was removed and duplicated to match the existing. The existing wooden interior framework was replaced with a combination of steel and wood. The 5 urns were removed from the site, media blasted to remove the patina and shop repaired to fix years of deterioration. The reconstructed parapet overlooks the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
