The West Central Neighborhood Association (WCNA) and ARCH, Inc., Fort Wayne's historic preservation organization, in cooperation with the City of Fort Wayne, will be hosting a workshop on brick street repair and restoration on Friday May 7, 2004 during National Preservation Week.
This day-long workshop will be conducted by Royce Baier of Brick Street Restorers in Paxton, Illinois. Mr. Baier will begin with a free public lecture on the history of brick streets and the processes used to repair and restore them to a proper integrity. The actual workshop, for which a fee will be charged, will demonstrate the basic restoration steps including the removal of depressed or improperly patched areas followed by the application of a new concrete base and sand layer. Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to assist with putting the brick surface into place.
