The Olympic Brewery Tower
When our team saw the state of the crumbling Olympic Brewery tower, a landmark on the National Registry of Historic Places, we knew we had to be part of its restoration. Dormant since Prohibition, this iconic structure presented a unique and welcome challenge.
Led by Kevin Hatfield, Abstract Masonry spearheaded the massive masonry restoration. Our skilled masons carefully shored up the property, removing loose and damaged brick by hand. We meticulously replaced the old brickwork, taking great care to mimic the original patterns and preserve the building’s historic character. This multi-million dollar project is more than just a job; it was an opportunity to safeguard a piece of history for the future, a challenge we were proud to tackle.

The Union Station Time Capsule
Abstract Masonry was entrusted with a delicate and historic task: carefully excavating a 100-year-old time capsule from the cornerstone of Ogden’s Union Station. This was a moment of public fascination, and our expert masons were honored to play a pivotal role.
With precision and historical sensitivity, we carefully removed the bricks surrounding the sealed copper box, ensuring the integrity of the century-old structure. This delicate operation allowed for the safe removal and opening of the capsule, revealing a trove of historical artifacts that offer a glimpse into the city’s past. We are proud to have been the skilled hands that helped bring a piece of history to light.
