KEY STRUCTURAL CHALLENGE
- Convert damaged, neglected masonry facade of 90-year-old (built 1915), abandoned building into useful, weatherproof office building
SOLUTION A former Ford trucks assembly plant and Sears farm implement distribution site, the building is made of concrete with a masonry veneer.
