251 West 89th Street – Entranceway Restoration Project Overview

In August 2015, Metal Man Restoration was hired to restore the front entranceway of 251 West 89th Street in Manhattan, known as The Admaston, a pre-war building constructed between 1910 and 1911.

The Problem

The wrought iron entranceway had never been restored. Our initial analysis found many layers of paint down to the original coat, along with rotted areas and deep pitting where corrosion had worn through the original wrought iron beneath the paint.

The Solution

The two-month restoration started by stripping every layer of paint to expose the bare metal. The team then sanded out the pitting and metal-filled the worn and rotted areas to rebuild the iron’s profile, restoring a sound, smooth surface ready for refinishing. The work returned the historic entranceway to a clean, structurally sound condition true to the building’s 1910s character.
