The German Insurance Bank Building, built in 1887, is an award winning example of Godsey Associates Architects' strong
capabilities and expertise in historic renovation. The building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic
Buildings, was in danger of demolition and decay when the project was undertaken. Godsey Associates paid great attention
to historic detail to restore this building to its original condition. The building had extensive damage due to four years
of exposure and neglect. The roof, a sky light, rear wall, ornamental plaster detailing, and original marble floors were
completely restored. New mechanical and electrical systems were installed in order to meet current building codes and
tenant needs. The project was constructed fast-track with more than 28 separate bid packages. Demolition began in August
1993 and the move-in date was December 1993. The project was completed in accordance with National Park Service Standards
and the Kentucky Heritage Council, making it eligible for Historic Tax Credits.Awards our building has received include: Citation for Excellence in Architectural Design Kentucky Society of Architects, 1996 Preservation Award for Renovation and Reuse of the German Bank Building Louisville Historical League, 1995 Preservation Alliance Award for Adaptive Use in a Commercial Building City of Louisville, 1994 |
