It was a unique
challenge to create a corporate headquarters in an 1858 home while
undertaking a complete interior historic rehabilitation. A selective
demolition uncovered clues to the past, but with only minimal
original features remaining, the challenge began. A yearlong
historic architectural investigation followed by a full demolition
and almost a year of construction culminated in a historically
impeccable renovation, despite only having twenty percent of the
original features present at the start. The result is a stunning and
appropriate historic renovation blending period appropriate
conference rooms and offices while maintaining commercial building
codes and integrating modern conveniences. Key elements included: a
three-story staircase with an octagonal oculus, sixteen room
renovations including a Kitchen and three Bathrooms, custom woodwork
& plaster, a third floor with an open floor plan and a rear entry
ramp entering to a two-story foyer.
