ENMAN/HURSEY BUILDING – Asheville, NC

The Enman/Hursey Building, built for Hursey & Company Jewelers in 1926, was built of steel and reinforced concrete with a limestone façade, and was considered to be fireproof. Our renovations included refurbishing and reinstalling the original Art Deco light fixtures, reopening the mezzanine levels to their original glory, replacing the 1970's entry with one more compatible with the Art Deco façade and installation of a code-compliant exit stair with terrazzo treads and risers. The project received a Griffin Award for Excellence in Preservation.
