Alamo Long Barrack getting spruced up
As one of the oldest buildings in Texas, the Alamo Long Barrack requires regular attention to keep the structure in its healthiest possible state. In the coming weeks, the Alamo’s preservation team will begin repair work on the Long Barrack’s roof and stone walls. During recent archae
During recent archaeological investigations in the Long Barrack, the preservation team discovered blisters in the roof of the Long Barrack. Cracks in the roof’s membrane have allowed moisture to infiltrate, causing parts of it to rise one foot above the existing roof. This modern-day roof, installed in 1975, is not a part of the original structure, and its unforeseen condition is covered under warranty by the company that originally installed the roof membrane in 2014.
In addition to the roof work, sections of the exterior walls of the Long Barrack will undergo cleaning during the next few weeks. Skilled masons will clean the limestone with water, specialized soap, and soft bristle brushes to carefully remove dirt and biological growth.
