SOO LINE CITY APARTMENTS
Minneapolis, MN
Coordinating the Soo Line project measuring, cataloging, and delivering the terra cotta pieces were key to the success of this project. There was a 120-day lead time from approved drawings to delivery, and even with additional pieces Advanced Masonry was able to stay within budget and complete the project on time.
The historic clock was disassembled on site while its faces and mechanisms were sent out to be remade. AMR professionals remade the missing or broken metal parts of the clock in our shop.
