Preserving History: National Historical Landmark Restoration Plans in Progress
We're thrilled to announce that our property has been officially listed as a National Historical Landmark. With the expertise of CSR Architects, renowned for their work in historic preservation, we are moving forward with the restoration of this cherished site. The architectural assessment is nearly complete, and schematic design work will soon begin. Explore the renderings of the restored building, crafted by CSR Architects, and join us in anticipation as we prepare to finalize construction documents by Summer 2026.
