When asked, Ned described the expansiveness of the job in detail, "The crews re-pointed the facades, replaced bricks where needed, reconditioned the cornices; added new marble where necessary and resealed all joints. The entire facade was cleaned and the wood trim was stripped and painted. The wrought iron metal work at the window level was stripped down to bare metal, re-welded and returned to brand new condition. In addition, the crews stripped all of the paint from the back of the building from the first three stories. They took the paint off of the limestone from the front facades and stairs going up to building 53. The East Lobby was updated with new lighting, flooring wall surfaces, paint, trim and a communications display screen. 

Another summer of improvements, finished before the start of school, which added to the shine and spirit of Dalton's First Program.
