The restoration process demanded great care for the delicate historic elements . The masonry structure was tuckpointed with periodappropriate mortar mix , wood windows were repaired to the original function , and the decorative metal hoods were mended where corroded . Missing elements were recreated inkind based on historic imagery , including the richly spindled entrance porch , pilastered brick parapet , castellated conical turret caps , and crowning ornate entablature . The spacious central corridor with prominent grand stair was reconstructed around existing exposed studs and abandoned door casings . Paneled classroom doors with transoms were replicated where previously located and woodwork was milled to the original profile specifications .
