Scope Of Work
Built in 1916, it originally served as a machine shop servicing the adjacent seven-floor Pillsbury A-Mill—which, for 40 years, held the title of the largest flour mill in the world.
The renovation on the $10 million, two-phase project included new additions of a commercial kitchen, bathrooms, an office area, dressing rooms, all new electric and plumbing systems and state-of-the-art sound system. The original wood floors were left intact, finding new luster with extensive re-sanding and re-staining. Other original building features, such as a scale, ceiling crane and drill press were retained for ambience.
