FLASH from the PAST! 200 Powell St. San Francisco
PRESERVATION AWARD: Kessler & Associates - Francisco, CA.
California Preservation Foundation
This 1913 art deco building located one block off Union Square in San Francisco was renovated in 2008. Although the terracotta parapet was removed for safety reasons in the 1960s, the preservation architects required that a replica of the demolished parapet be reproduced. Kreysler & Associates, long considered a quality producer of historic terracotta replicas, was selected to reproduce this parapet in FRP.
The project required onsite field dimensioning and mold-making of original relief pieces. Due to its lightweight, no additional structure was needed to bring the existing parapet support structure up to current earthquake codes. Even though the codes often require upgrading structures to meet current codes, the comparatively light weight of FRP over alternate materials often allows original structures to remain unaltered.
