Boston Avenue United Methodist Church

We recently completed a restoration project for the Boston Avenue United Methodist Church, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The restoration of this 250-foot-tall building was aimed at revitalizing its nearly 100-year-old Art Deco architecture. The restoration work included a thorough cleaning of the church’s limestone facade, which had been discolored and stained over the years due to weathering and pollution. The cleaning process involved the use of specialized equipment and cleaning agents that effectively removed the dirt and grime from the surface of the stone, restoring its natural color and texture.

In addition to the limestone cleaning, the restoration project also involved selective tuckpointing, which involved repairing and replacing damaged mortar joints. This was essential to prevent water from seeping into the building’s structure and causing further damage. The project also involved the replacement of old, worn-out sealants, which help to protect the building’s facade from the elements. Lastly, the restoration work included the patching of terra cotta and limestone spalls, which are small pieces of stone that have broken off the facade due to weathering and age. This helped to improve the building’s overall stability and appearance. The combination of these restoration efforts has ensured that the Boston Avenue United Methodist Church will continue to stand as a beautiful and historic landmark for many years to come.
