Steel Shots: Reimagining Retro

Weeksville Heritage Center

At 390 Madison Avenue in New York City, a 1950s era office building is being reconceived from the inside out — in steel — with new column-free spans and a new facade. The building is essentially being torn down to its steel core and built back up, but this time with higher ceilings and functional outdoor space. Owen Steel Company (an AISC member and certified fabricator) is the steel fabricator for the project.
