Meet The Team
Jon Owens
I owned a historic preservation construction firm for 33 years specializing in historic masonry, slate and tile roofing, and mill work. My portfolio consisted of residential and commercial projects. I've worked on such projects as the Cunningham House (1796) Gettysburg, PA, Christ Lutheran Church (1835) Gettysburg, PA, The Blair House (Washington D.C.), The Federal Trade Building (Washington, D.C.), The Potomac Annex (Washington, D.C.), and many many others. I know the products to repair historic buildings and also how to install them. I brought my field knowledge to Lancaster Lime Works in 2012. In 2020, through much research and development I designed and manufactured the H-1 Binder. A binder initially designed for hemp, but can be used to make mortar, limewash, and plaster. My passion is the preservation of historic structures and renewable, sustainable, healthy building materials. My commitment to Lancaster Lime Works is 100% natural products, and unmatched customer service. I can help with the repair of the most challenging historic buildings.
