A Restoration Sensitive to Detail


 Located on the southern edge
 of downtown Tampa near turn-
 of-the-century warehouses, this
two story corner building housed
wholesale establishments and a
saloon on the main level and of-
fices on the second floor in 1900.
 The main entry space from
Franklin Street was enlarged,
recessed and made two stories
high with a new glass enclosed
elevator connecting to a second
level gallery. Its 12,000 square
feet now converted to modern
office and retail space, the struc-
ture contains a law firm, insur-
ance company, architect's office
and printing facility.
 Particular attention was given
to tying the renovation work in
with the appearance of its adja-
cent brick neighbors. Lighting,
finishes, textures and colors
were recognized and coordi-
nated. Sidewalks were extended
and matching trees and planters
were installed to treat this exist-
ing area as a whole.

 "The genius of this very fine
restoration was making the de-
cision to strip away the stucco
and expose the original brick."
