The Milton- A Battle Creek Gem Returns

Bringing back a vacant 19 story Tower that had many failed attempts at development is no small challenge. It took a persistent team, public and private partnerships and creative approaches to turn this rough shell back into the pride of downtown. This webinar will trace the commitment of the community to this building beginning during “the Depression” and its story of survival from its water soaked existence in 2017 to Receiving a Governor’s Award for Historic Preservation in 2022. It will pictorially bring you through the process of this complex rehabilitation and discuss use of conventional approaches and walk through some unconventional ways used to recreate decorative painting and creation of a special window to provide a trickle vent to meet historic standards.
