Gentle cleaning and in-kind repairs are underway to both historic smokestacks. Easements Atlanta worked closely with TriBridge Residential, the Stacks HOA, and Beacon Construction to ensure that the repairs adhered to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Easements Atlanta worked closely with all parties to find an appropriate mortar match that was physically and visually appropriate to the historic smokestacks, including one that as closely as possible matched the historic mortar in color, texture and tooling.
