Historic restoration and preservation of the 1906 Duane Building which was heavily damaged by fire.
Original integrity of design was restored by reinstalling key architectural elements — stairway, skylights, sandstone exterior detailing —to original grandeur per historical photographs.
Rehabilitated balusters, moldings, and skylight that had been painted and covered by a drop ceiling.
Literally, this beautiful historic building in downtown Lorain has risen from the ashes.
