Carnegie Whiskey Library, 620 Franklin St SE, 23-2580
Report
Project Information:
The project proposes transforming the use of the historic building into a whiskey library for the public to enjoy. The project will consist of two stories of whiskey lounges and bars distributed around the building. The lower level will include accessible entries, a conference room, and lounge areas reserved for members only. The upper floor, with its significant high ceilings, will be open to all. The scope of work includes restoration work of the original wainscoting, flooring, and other interior details to be preserved. New additions to the 1914 building include interior finishes such as paint, wallpaper and furniture, both built-in and loose. A contemporary addition on the upper level will include an outdoor terrace, elevator, accessible restrooms, and exterior egress stair. The upper level additions will contrast with the old and are proposed on the North side of the building, above the addition that was built in 1950.
