Restoration of a 200 foot tower at the United States Federal Penitentiary at Lewisburg.

This Historical Landmark suffered exposure to the elements over 75 years, which led to the deterioration of the original cast stone. Restoration included the replication of the original cast stone columns at the window openings atop the 200 foot structure.
