WHAT AMERICA'S MADE OF!"

How we helped turn a 157-year-old jail into a luxury hotel.

Transforming Boston's historic Charles Street Jail into the luxurious Liberty Hotel required architects, historians, conservationists and over 400 tons of QUIKRETE materials. More than 350.000 bricks were laid using QUIKRETE Colored Mortar with a Spec Mix Silo Delivery System. Besides providing product selection and color-matching expertise, we also delivered technical field support throughout the project. And with over 90 manufacturing plants, we can deliver affordable, high-performance products nationwide. For a free construction product guide, visit quikrote.com or call 1-800-282-5828
