Brick, Stone, and Mortar: Their History, Uses, and Repair
April 7, 2018 |
On April 7, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Center for the Humanities at Rutgers-Camden is hosting a one-day historic preservation workshop in Philadelphia at the Arch Street Meeting House. Registration is open now. All workshop attendees will receive a discount on registration for our fall 2018 class, Introduction to Historic Preservation.
Brick, Stone, and Mortar: Their History, Uses, and Repair
Brick, stone and mortar construction was a common building technique throughout the colonial period. By the middle of the nineteenth century, masonry construction was almost as common as wood construction. This workshop will introduce participants to various brick and stonework building traditions as well as to the varying qualities of the materials themselves. Equally important, students will look at the evolution of mortar and its basic components. There will be a demonstration of brick pointing with a survey of the tools and techniques used. This workshop is offered in partnership with the Fairmount Park Conservancy.
