Sincerely, Kelly WatsonBluestone Building, LLC(205)874-1188 The Loftleft0We were fortunate to have the opportunity to renovate part of the old Massey Feed Store in downtown Birmingham. This beautiful loft, designed by Rob Walker Architects, has now become the home of David and Jean Kassouf. With over 9,000 sf of living area, this home is ready for entertaining and grandchildren. The building was built in 1912 adjacent to the original building built in the late 1800's. The unique feature of the home is the original Coca Cola mural that was unveiled by the owners after they purchased the building. After some painstaking removal of the old plaster by David and his son, the mural was brought back to life. We had the easy job of seal coating the mural to preserve it. The mural spans 2 floors. The lower level wall reads
Relieves Fatigue 5 cents
. I wonder what was in that Coca Cola. Custom cabinets, mouldings, doors, and a full size commercial elevator are but a few of the special details that the Kassouf's choose for their new home. The old heart pine floors refinished beautifully, bringing out dark, light and umber tones. A two car garage on the 1st floor and gated parking court give them ample space for their cars and storage. Lofts are challenging projects because nothing is straight, level or plumb. It takes tedious attention to detail to bring quality to an imperfect building. These old buildings have unique qualities, and the Coca Cola mural in this project stole the show.
