Western Specialty Contractors has restored the façade of North Carolina’s Buncombe County Courthouse.
The historic courthouse was designed by architect Frank Pierce Milburn and built between 1924 and 1928. The 17-story skyscraper’s façade consists of brick and ashlar veneer and features complex setbacks with an overlay of Neo-Classical Revival limestone and terra cotta ornament. The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Over time, the landmark structure’s facade had deteriorated and required extensive restoration. The company contracted with Buncombe County to do the specialized work, which included brick and sealant replacement and terra cotta repairs.
Work on the facade started April 2020 and was completed August 2021. SKA Consulting served as the engineer on the project.
