In 2015, the city requested bids for demolition or reconstruction, awarding possession of the building to local contractor Architectural Renovators, the only bidder intending to restore the structure. We assisted the owner in preparing their bid package, diagnosed the culprit behind the severe masonry deterioration (rusty veneer ties) and created a beautiful marketing brochure to attract prospective tenants to the historic property. While the building’s interior is highly fragmented today, the dramatic tower and elegant waiting rooms sit ready for adaptive reuse.
