Brewery Arts Center's brick facade renovation is complete, additional damages found lead to additional cost
We are thrilled to announce that the brick restoration on the Brewery Building is now complete! Abstract Masonry was the contractor and did a truly incredible job.
Many thanks are owed to State of Nevada Commission for Cultural Centers and Historic Preservation who provided $302,000 in funding (which was based on the original quote).
Once the old paint was stripped off, we uncovered some damage and bad concrete patches that had been done over the past 160 years. This resulted in significant areas where brick had to be replaced and repaired. In total, this unexpected work cost the BAC $38,000 (which was not covered by the State).
With the summer concerts over and our slower season coming up this has put a tremendous strain on our budget. Any financial contributions from our friends and neighbors would go a long way and all donations are 100% tax deductible.
