Restoring the Empire State Building's Art Deco Lobby

The famous Art Deco lobby of the Empire State Building has been restored by Beyer Blinder Belle Architects.

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Ann Arbor, MI, was designed in 1868 by the prominent English Gothic architect Gordon W. Lloyd and completed to his specifications over the next 40 years. In 1950, the rectory was torn down to make way for a new parish hall, which was a stylistic departure. After careful master planning and assessment of its existing buildings, Quinn Evans Architects embarked on a full restoration of St. Andrew’s in 2008, including the first full replacement of its roof, masonry re-pointing, window restoration and a comprehensive restoration of the interior.
