Heritage Masonry Restorations
Building The Future | Restoring The Past
Masonry restoration is an in-depth process of understanding and curating solutions for aging stone and brick.
Lennox Masonry specializes in restoring heritage masonry structures to their original state through repointing, rebuilding, and replicating methods.
Based in Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island, Lennox Masonry utilizes traditional masonry craftsmanship and materials to breathe new life into old masonry buildings and architectural features through a non-abrasive approach. We utilize traditional lime-based mortars and techniques to replicate the original mortars used and ensure their compatibility.
From the consultation stage through to the restoration itself, we are with you every step of the way to ensure that each aspect of your project receives its due attention. Our goal is to ensure the authenticity and longevity of heritage and historical masonry buildings.

17th Century Gothic Cathedral Remnants
In 2017, Lennox Masonry was tasked with restoring, rebuilding, and replicating features from stone doorways and archways that were original to a 17th-Century Gothic Cathedral located in Italy which had been shipped to a private property in North Saanich, BC. These remnants were then erected throughout the gardens of the property. To learn more about this project, click here!
Duncan City Hall Restoration
In 2024, Lennox Masonry undertook the restoration of both the sandstone and brickwork comprising the city hall in Duncan, BC. This project involved the removal of decrepit mortar and lime-wash from the sandstone ribbons around the building and replacing it with traditional lime-based mortar and lime-wash. The granite and sandstone staircases were also repointed in traditional fashions. For more details on this project, please click here!
Samuel Maclure Projects
Over the decades, Lennox Masonry has had the pleasure of restoring, repointing, and rebuilding stone walls, pillars, chimneys, and other masonry features that were originally designed and built by the late and famous architect, Samuel Maclure in Victoria, BC. These masonry structures are heritage-designated and require traditional lime-based mortars while being restored.

Government House
In 2025, Lennox Masonry, in cooperation with the Government House in Victoria, BC and the Camosun College: Women In Trades Program, had the opportunity to repoint heritage stone walls with traditional lime-mortar and teach students of the program about masonry restoration and preservation. The students learned about the importance of repairing these old buildings with heritage-designated tools and lime-based mortars with hands-on experience.
