DANVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA

Project History
Danville State Hospital was constructed in 1869.
Dr. Thomas S. Kirkbride developed a building design for
asylums which optimized light, ventilation, and each patient's
view. Danville's main building consists of a central structure
of exposed serpentine stone, with two primary wings
constructed of stucco covered schist, all with brownstone
accents. C & D Waterproofing stripped all areas of
deteriorated and delaminated stucco back to the original
substrate. Conpro One Coat was applied directly to the
substrate, without the need for expanded wire mesh.
Conpro One Coat may be applied in thicker lifts than
traditional stucco, making it the ideal material to replace the
original scratch and brown coats. A finish coat of Conpro
Stucco was applied to provide a uniform finish. The stucco
restoration was completed with two coats of an acrylic
elastomeric paint. The brownstone accents were repaired
with MIMIC, which was slightly overbuilt and then shaved
to achieve the same surface texture as the original stone.
