Originally built in 1889, this Romanesque building was designed by Van Brunt and Howe. We partnered in the historic preservation of this library.
Windows on the front façade of the original library building were restored to like-new condition. On the sides and back, existing windows were Bi-Glassed with insulated glass and custom windows were manufactured to replace missing windows. All new work matches existing details and components.
