Over time, water infiltration and defective masonry work began to cause deterioration to the building. In 2019 a federal grant was received by the Town of Newburgh from the Indiana Department of Historic Preservation and Archaeology to help fund repairs. As an approved architect for DHPA  projects, we provided investigative services to help diagnose the moisture issues and provided public bidding services to deliver the project at lowest cost. In addition to the repairs, we helped re-imagine the building's interior with the addition of a new bridal suite, updated lighting, new flooring, and dramatic acoustic wall panels. Alterations to the historic structure followed strict preservation guidelines.

Preservation Hall is a vivid testament to how historic architecture can be sensitively adapted to serve contemporary community needs, offering elegance, flexibility, and character—perfectly suited for elevated architectural storytelling.
