The first building erected on St. Joseph’s City Avenue campus, Barbelin Hall was completed in 1927, with the Lonergan Hall addition completed in 1932.  The building’s exterior consists of solid stone masonry construction in the modern collegiate Gothic architectural style.

The building houses academic/administrative offices, classrooms, and the office of the Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.

TBS Services was engaged by St. Joseph’s University to survey, evaluate and document the necessary repairs to the existing exterior stone masonry. The multi-phased exterior masonry rehabilitation/restoration project will span multiple years.

As required by the City of Philadelphia, TBS was also responsible for the survey and evaluation of the exterior, resulting in the filing of the Philadelphia City Ordinance Façade Report” for the B & L Bell Tower.
