This historic building, located at 133 S Main St in Salisbury NC is being transitioned from a turn of the century office building to 7 apartments with a main floor retail space remaining.

The Bell Block was built in 1898, with exquisite woodwork throughout.  We are saving as much of the original trim as possible, and repairing as needed throughout.  An elevator is being installed to service all three floors

We are also putting a skylight above the beautiful stairwell.  This opening will allow light to cascade from the roof down through the common area of the third floor, and then filter through the stairwell to illuminate the common area of the second floor.  Period appropriate fixtures will be utilized in common areas, to retain the feel of this grand historic building.

There was a lot of cleaning to be done down there.

 

 

 

Check out this beautiful woodwork! The following two picture show the staircase coming down from the third floor.  You can definitely get a feel for the craftsmanship.
