By the 1850s, it had become clear that much of Chicago was incapable of supporting healthy living. Because large parts of the city had been built right at the surface elevation of Lake Michigan, stagnant water frequently collected throughout, lacking natural drainage. These problems culminated in outbreaks of dysentery and typhoid fever that finally spurred action.

In one of the most ambitious engineering projects ever undertaken, building owners throughout the city began jacking up their properties, collectively seeking to raise the level of much of the city to provide for better drainage. With many existing brick and stone buildings being lifted in this way, cheaper wooden-framed ones were often simply shuttled out to the city's outskirts to be replaced by new, elevated ones of these more substantial kinds.

That left Chicago with a concentrated wealth of brick and stone buildings that remains to this day, making it one of the most distinctive cities in the world in this respect. Since 1938, Soumar Masonry Restoration has been one of the leading caretakers for these irreplaceable buildings and many others, providing the masonry restoration chicago building owners count on to keep their priceless properties strong and beautiful.
