The London House Condo Association, 1233 Ogden Street, is looking for someone to salvage and re-use a sandstone retaining wall. The length of these stones range from 1 ft to a couple that are 4 ft long. They are about a thickness of 9 x10 inches. These are the top or "cap" stones. Additionally the flat stones beneath them of the same material are about 3 inches thick.
The total wall is about 340 feet long, in three sections. At this point they are only going to replace the South end of the wall that runs from the alley to the outside club room entrance. The rest will be replaced in the next couple of years. Contact Nancy at RMMI for more information 303-893-3838 or nancy@rmmi.org.
