Lake Shore Drive is lined with many superb examples of Beaux-Arts architecture designed for Chicago’s upper crust. Amongst them, a classic multi-family work by architect Robert De Golyer at 3750— once described by the Chicago Tribune as “the last word of luxury,” and praised for its use of “high grade face brick” throughout (no cheap common brick, even on the rear and sides)!
When it came time for a multi-year maintenance plan to beautify the aging facade of this historic property, we were proud to provide a custom blend of two bricks from our Summit (Lakewood) and Ragland factories to match the handsome, much-prized original masonry.
