Sinclair Town Hall Remodel The second floor level of this historic town hall structure had been vacant and deteriorating for decades, although is a contributing structure within the National Historic District in the downtown of Sinclair which is one of a handful of surviving "company towns". It was decided to expand the town's museum two-fold by expanding it onto the unused second floor and convert the remainder of the second floor space into rentable office and meeting room spaces where such amenities are lacking in this tiny town of 450 people. Additionally, an elevator was added along with ADA compliant restrooms to allow full accessibility to all levels of the building. Wood floors, trim, and doors were revealed, sanded and refinished while historic skylights were reglazed to allow plentiful natural light into the second floor. The basic floor plan was retained as much as possible, including door openings and trim, while modern HVAC was added for comfort with exposed ductwork due to the shallow roof structure above. The project also included a fire protection system, fire alarm, second level egress stair, and historic plaster repairs. The exterior stucco façade was patched and refreshed with a simple coat of paint and the historic Spanish tile mansard was removed, waterproofed, and restored. A separate asbestos abatement project was coordinated prior to construction work. The project was designed in compliance with the State Fire Marshal's requirements.
