Historic Hoyt Library, built of large limestone blocks and red sandstone trim, originally opened in 1890. Our restoration work was the library's first complete renovation in 107 years. The building was rehabilitated in a way that carefully preserved the original building architecture and materials while accommodating contemporary library functions. The exterior stone walls were repaired, waterproofed and protected with a special drainage system. New mechanical and electrical systems — including more than 130 electrical and data outlets for Internet and computer access — were also installed and modern technology was provided throughout the building.
