AMERICAS SOCIETY 680 Park Avenue Upper East Side Manhattan
For the past eight years ongoing, our firm has served as the Restoration Architect for this LPC-designated McKim Mead and White Mansion now serving as an art museum, conference center, and office building for the Americas Society/Council of the Americas. We authored their first condition survey and capital improvement plan, which laid the groundwork for financing and funding including a grant from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs. Work completed to date includes a new hydraulic service lift, restoration of entry doors, and sidewalk and sitework improvements. We are presently embarking on a building-wide historic wood window replacement, stone and brick masonry façcade repairs, rebuilding of chimneys, restoration of the Park Avenue portico and custom fabricated lanterns, as well as full replacement of the slate and copper roofs.
