Leeds Castle Stone Restoration
Leeds, Greene County, New York
Stone Wall Restoration, Rebuilt Stone Walls, Stone Repointing
Restoration of the stone walls of the Leeds Castle began at the foundation. Sections of the foundation and tower had to be reconstructed due to fire damage and the exposure to the elements. Other areas required many feet of restoration tuck pointing. The tower was rebuilt with stone quarried from the site, just as when it was originally built.
