UUCW received bids from two masonry firms for our proposed Phase 4 repairs. After consultation with Structures North Consulting Engineers and the Massachusetts Historical Commission, we awarded the contract to Joseph Gnazzo Company Inc., of Union, CT as the lowest qualified bidder. Gnazzo is well acquainted with our Set in Stone campaign as they have conducted excellent work for Phases 1 and 2 in 2019-2021.
Phase 4 will focus in the West side of the bell tower (facing Pleasant Street). The masons will have their work cut out for them: below is a close-up of some of the open mortar joints that are in dire need of attention. Work will begin in Spring 2025 and will be signaled by the arrival of the now-familiar scaffolding.
