Construction Progress-A House on a Ravine

This 1912 home is prominently situated overlooking the Glen Echo Ravine, and it is a stunning example of a side-gabled American Craftsman Bungalow. Construction work is progressing nicely on the interior and exterior renovations. Care is being taken to retain and restore original architectural features and materials, and to sensitively integrate new elements.

Final Photography Captures the Restored Beauty of The Sullivan Building

RKA is pleased to share Brad Feinknopf’s professional photography of Louis Sullivan’s 1915 “jewel box” bank, now beautifully restored in downtown Newark, Ohio after a ten-year multi-phased project. The restoration of this national treasure included the meticulous conservation and restoration of the exterior terra cotta facades, intricate exterior mosaics, leaded glass and opalescent glass windows, and decoratively painted interior murals.
