CHANGE OF HANDS… JUST IN TIME
Knollmeyer Building Corp. completes Phase II of a multi-year façade restoration of Boston’s most iconic building, the Custom House, just in the nick of time. The last work item to be completed before the Christmas deadline was the replacement of the clock hands. KBC contracted with a Maine boat builder to fabricate new carbon fiber clock hands and a local steeple jack to repel down and remove the old hands and install the new ones on each of the four clocks. Other work included in this phase was the replacement of the waterproofing systems on the Observation Deck, the Eagle Suites balconies and the main roof of the original 4 story building.
