The façade of Portland’s oldest standing commercial building has been restored precisely to its original design. The architectural team researched and documented the original façade, including fire shutters. The craftsmanship by the contractor, the masons, and millworkers was exceptional. The parts of the original façade that were cast iron were carved in wood molds and recast in iron. Hidden inside the façade is a massive reinforced concrete moment frame that meets stringent current seismic codes. The reinforced façade was tied to the neighboring building as structural support.
