Work to update the facade of the 222 Building on First Street between Market & Jefferson Streets appears to be complete. The once flat and slightly dull facade has taken a turn for the historic with more detail to provide visual interest.
MRP Associates designed the new synthetic stucco facade to be installed over top of the previous face. Below you can see an artist’s work painting individual bricks onto the north side of the building from mid August. Each brick looks slightly different to create a more believable effect.
