LEO-CEDARVILLE – The East Allen County Schools board agreed Tuesday to spend about $1.4 million on repairs addressing masonry and roofing needs at schools, among others.
ORLAND â The Joyce Public Library is getting its first significant exterior improvements in recent memory.
Joyce has retained Atlas Building Services to tuckpoint the brick exterior of the century-old library building, which is located at the northeast corner of S.R. 120 and S.R. 327 in downtown Orland.
In the masonry world, tuckpointing refers to the process of removing portions of deteriorating mortar in between the bricks and applying a new coat that matches the original.
âThis is a once-in-a-lifetime project,â Joyce Director Bonnie Hollman said in a phone call. âNobody at the library can remember the last time any exterior work was done.â
