Nice article about our Mill Street School apartments project in today’s Lookout Local!

Work on the 1921 building is set to begin this summer and wrap up next spring. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Ending the week on a high note, we received permit approval from the city for the Mill Street School Apartments! This project will convert this historic 3-story school building into 40 new market-rate apartments. It’s exciting that we can celebrate this historic building and give it a new purpose, while also adding much needed housing to downtown!

Have a 1960’s ranch home with wood floors? Odds are they are a mix of red and white oak “shorts” like these, but they pretty much just look orange because of the old varnish. The great thing about these floors is they are good quality 60+ year old material 🌳 , and will be much lighter and brighter with a good sand and modern sealer.

In the current lighting conditions and from just the right viewing angle, you can actually see where the old “RIVETT” lettering used to be on the upper corner of the building!!!

Another school year wrapping up! Campfire co-founders Kelsey and Jenna teach the Working Drawings for Interior Architecture studio and support course each year. For most students this is their first time taking their projects beyond schematic design. In just 10 weeks they measure/document the existing building, meet with the client & create a program, generate a design concept, learn Revit, and translate their designs into black and white construction drawings. By the end of the quarter they have a pretty awesome and professional looking document set that they can take to job interviews when they are looking for internships. The learning curve is steep, but the process is so rewarding!!!
