“Every time you open your business door in downtown, Wichita stands a little stronger.“

The glittery, sparkly white-textured façade on the corner of Douglas and Seneca must have seemed like a good idea at the time. But that time was long gone.

Farha Construction turned back the clock, stripping away every plaster remnant of the 60s. Then, each and every brick was removed, scrubbed clean, and relayed to standards set by the National Register of Historic Places.

The building restoration is a work in progress. Moving forward.

Project Details

  • The 10,000-square-foot building had bricks so loose, you could push the wall in.
  • We removed the glittery, ’60s-style sparkly white texture.
  • Every north-facing brick was removed, scrubbed clean and re-laid to standards set by the National Register of Historic Places.
