Repairing the brick and brownstone staircase at Norfolk’s Town Hall involves a fair bit of finesse and luck. Mason Joe Marolda, who has been working through the fall, has relied on a mix of recycled and found materials to ensure that the repairs mesh with the building’s distinctive exterior. For starters, Marolda saved as much of the unique golden brick as he could and then relied on a stash stored in the Town Hall basement, finding enough to create a relatively seamless connection. The brownstone was rescued from New Haven—First Selectman Matt Riiska is known for collecting materials against a possible “rainy day”—and stored at the town farm. Marolda said it is a close, though not exact match for Norfolk’s stone, which probably came from Portland, Conn., rather than Massachusetts.
