The Storefront design

We originally we had planned to put an all aluminum storefront system in. Once construction started we uncovered the original upper glass storefront. Once we saw that we knew we had to preserve what was left of the storefront. Thanks to the Jackson Historic Society, we were provided a picture of the building when it was new in 1908! Even though the picture was from a distance and not very detailed we were able to get a feel for the original design. So I built a computer model of my design to see what the finished storefront would look like. Also I wanted to try different color schemes. We chose the colors you see on the building now. They are from the color schemes of that era. We are very pleased with the final look of the building and feel it captures the character of the original design.

Here are the computer images we created to aid in the design.
