Advanced Eyecare

Location	Plymouth, Wisconsin
Project Type	Exterior & Interior Remodel
Project Area	8,000 sq. ft.
Year	2010 (completed by Jennifer L. Lehrke while a Senior Architect at LJM Architects)

While a true restoration was cost prohibitive due to the extent of historically insensitive midcentury alterations, the building’s historic character was revived with re-created pilasters and replica cornice based on archive photos. On the interior, the original cream city brick walls, cast iron columns, and historic bank vault were left exposed and celebrated. The first floor was renovated to accommodate an optometry office with spaces for two office tenants and a dance studio above.
