Southside Precast Products took on the challenge of duplicating the railing profiles that outline areas of the American Red Cross located in the prestigious area of Delaware Ave. in Buffalo, NY.

Foit-Albert Associates was in the need to locate a wheelchair access ramp without harming the natural charm of the building. The intricate railing profiles therefore needed to be included to keep it’s historic, original look. The original structure was constructed around the turn of the century with an entire face and trim of natural limestone.

Working closely with the architect and contractor, Southside was able to capture not only the intricate design, but a near perfect match to the original limestone. This was done in a panel form to accommodate the ramps changing elevation and maintain the lines of the original design.

The total project consisted of duplicate caps, lower sloped stones, end piers and other miscellaneous filler stones to complete the project.
