This beautiful but abandoned brick-and-timber building, designed in 1916 by George Applegarth, had originally been used as a printing house. Demonstrating the confidence and foresight that became our trademark, McKenzie, Rose & Holliday Development bought it in 1990, just 30 days after closing on our first loft-conversion property on 4th Street and despite a generally poor market for condominiums. We preserved the integrity of the original design while creating a flexible living space that combined the comforts of condominiums with the industrial style of lofts. Buyers responded enthusiastically: All the lofts sold and closed within 90 days of construction completion.
