Located in the Rittenhouse-Fitler District of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, one of several important historic
districts in the city. For this restoration, CT&C Architects worked
closely with the Philadelphia Historical Commission to ensure great
care was taken to obtain acceptable replacement brick, pointing
mortar, patching material color and paint color appropriate for the
period. The architects designed a single leaf mahogany door with
arched transom flanked by period light fixtures of custom bronze
casting and decorative bracket with globe.
The new sash on the building includes slightly enlarged styles, rails
and muntins to accommodate the insulated double glazing necessary to
make the building energy efficient.
