HENRY BRISTOW LANDMARK SCHOOL  Park Slope  Brooklyn

Clem Labine, Editor/Traditional Building Magazine - Ortner Preservation Award Jury:
"Public School 39 is a truly unique and outstanding project among recent preservation work in New York State... Such a superbly executed project is to be celebrated."

​The Henry Bristow School - PS39K is the oldest school building in continuous use in the City of New York. As part of our term contract with the NYC School Construction Authority, our firm was involved in all phases of design and construction for replacement of the historic wood cornice and slate roofing as well as restoration of exterior masonry. A new copper cornice system was designed with steel outrigger beams to carry its weight back to roof trusses eliminating concentrated weight on the existing masonry walls. The cornice was detailed to exactly replicate all historic details, including dentils, brackets, and fascia elements of the original rotted wood cornice. The slate mansard roofs were fully replaced, with standing seam copper crests, and all brick and stone masonry were restored. We reconstructed the central tower, adding a new crowning cornice, designed to replicate what had been missing for over 50 years. This project won two prestigious awards:
