Washington Crossing Park Revitalization

WINNER

Armor Masonry Restoration, Inc.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Washington Crossing Historic Park — where George Washington launched one of the most pivotal battles of the Revolutionary War — spans 500 acres in Upper Makefield Township and sees nearly 700,000 visitors per year. Armor Masonry was brought in to help revitalize the park and address the extreme deterioration of multiple historic buildings, stone gates, and a pavilion. All work on the buildings was done meticulously using historic preservation methods, including vigorous testing of the mortar mix as the project progressed from one location to the next. Overall the team successfully restored 20 locations in 18 months.
