Drake Hotel
Chicago, Illinois

Client: Vista International
Consultant: Klein & Hoffman, Inc.
Assignment: Exterior Wall Rehabilitation
Duration: 2 Years (2001-2002)
Project Value: $1.2 million

The prestigious Drake Hotel located in the shadow of the John Hancock Building recently underwent a major rehabilitation of the limestone facades. Work included repair of the exterior masonry on all facades of the 10 story building over a two year period. The ornate stonework was matched perfectly using the in-house stone shop at our facilities. The ability to fabricate stone replicas in-house also allowed the project to be completed within the stringent time frame.
