DBVW completed a detailed report that identified areas in need of repair and provided recommendations for restoration. DBVW was subsequently hired to address the most pressing preservation needs of the building. This first phase of work involved the replacement of the main roof and the restoration of the central tower, including regilding the domed roof of the cupola.
