We are proud of our architectural heritage and support
the preservation of this important aspect of our culture.
Our award winning historical restoration and
renovation projects include pioneer buildings built in the late 1800's, recent
mid-century modern houses, and projects by local celebrity designer and
inventor Art Troutner.
Our historical restoration and preservation project
designs are developed within the National Park Service Guidelines and with the
local State Historic Preservation Office. We are mindful of a building's
history and construction. We diligently research existing data and lore of our
project buildings to develop a historical context, understanding and
appreciation of the times and building.
We have accumulated and developed many techniques and
methods for the adaptation of historical buildings for life safety and
accessibility codes with the least amount of disturbance to the historic
fabric. In most instances, the modern user is not aware of these alterations.
Other required elements such as a new exit stair from the second story and
accessible restrooms are added with a delicate touch to the existing historic
building.
