Front Facade - Fleisher Art Memorial
Myers Constructs recently received a Grand Jury Award from The Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia (PAGP) for a major renovation and repair project at The Fleisher Art Memorial, the nation's oldest tuition-free art school located in South Philadelphia. This award was bestowed by a distinguished panel of historic preservation experts at PAGP.
Myers Constructs' Fleisher restoration project entailed repairing and replacing 83 wooden windows - most of which were nearly a century old – with the goals of maintaining the historical integrity of the buildings, achieving energy efficiencies, and providing a safer and more secure environment for the 17,000 people who visit the institution throughout the year.
Shown here is the front facade of the building, where all windows were replaced, as well as those on the adjoining rowhome buildings. Assorted types of casement and double-hung windows were replicated and/or restored. Increased energy efficiency was brought to the entire facade.
