Historic Masonry Restoration in Malvern, Iowa – Bringing New Life to a Vacant Landmark

Malvern New

At Markuson Construction Inc., we specialize in masonry restoration and tuck-pointing throughout Malvern, Iowa and the surrounding communities. Our latest project is a perfect example of how expert brickwork can preserve the past and build a better future.

We're proud to be leading the restoration of a historic brick building right in downtown Malvern. Once vacant and forgotten, this structure is being transformed into beautiful new apartments—bringing new life and purpose to a piece of local history.

🔨 Here's what our team is doing on-site:

  • Bricking in old window openings to match the original façade
  • Removing outdated doors and seamlessly filling them with brick
  • Cutting in brand-new doorways to suit the new apartment layouts
  • Repairing stair-step cracks in the original masonry
  • Tuck-pointing the majority of the brick exterior, revitalizing the building’s structure and appearance

This level of detailed brickwork and historic masonry repair takes time, skill, and a deep respect for the craftsmanship of the past—something we take great pride in at Markuson Construction Inc.

🧱 Why Historic Restoration Matters

We don’t just build—we restore, preserve, and protect the character of small towns like Malvern. Every crack we repair and every brick we lay is part of a bigger story: one of revitalization and community pride.

As we continue work on this project, we’re excited to watch this once-vacant building become a vibrant part of Malvern again.
