Completed in 1915, the National Register building is located in downtown Joplin. This building was originally a warehouse and office for the Interstate Grocer Company and has served many uses since. The building included unique features such as terra cotta decorative trim, decorative concrete columns, large steel windows, a structure housing an old water tower, and transom glass designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The project includes completely restoring the exterior per the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and converting all five floors into Class A office and retail space. The modernization of the building included new traction elevators, heating and air systems, new electrical and plumbing distribution, a fire protection system, a new fire stair, and new public lobbies. BR&P provided consultation for LEED® certification.
