Masonry Contractor in American Fork, UT

American Fork's historic walking tour reads like a catalog of local stone and brick work, from City Hall's 1903 stone foundation to a historic rock wall at the cemetery.

Historic stone and brick in American Fork

The city's Historic Walking Tour documents City Hall's 1903 stone foundation and arched entrances, Harrington School's stone foundation and brick arches, and a historic rock wall at the City Cemetery, 75 East 600 North.

These are individual structures, not a survey of the city's homes, but they show a local habit of building with stone.

Repairing older stone

Old stone foundations and walls are usually repointed, not replaced. The key is a mortar that is not harder or less permeable than the stone, so the joints rather than the stone take the wear (NPS Preservation Brief 2). Our stone masonry page covers resetting and repair.

Permits

American Fork's Building Department takes applications through CityInspect and requires zoning clearance before building review when the project checklist calls for it.
