Abstract:
Earley’s concrete, while durable, is subject to the same types of deterioration as any other concrete and presents some unique restoration challenges. The National Park Service has been engaged in a phased restoration of Meridian Hill Park since 2001. In 2009, the state of New Jersey embarked on the Edison Memorial Tower’s restoration. These two projects illustrate the range of issues involved in restoration of this material.
