1608 Chestnut Street

Project History

1608 Chestnut Street is part of the National Register Center City West Commercial Historic District, and was added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1985. The 3 story limestone building still features all of its original architectural details. As part of the conversion to Uniqlo, Mara Restoration cleaned and repointed the façade. Conproco’s RePoint was chosen as the repointing mortar. RePoint is a traditional Portland, lime and sand mix. It contains no polymers or additives, and comes packaged as a just-add-water mix.
