Restoring Findlay
I
n restoring the Victorian building, one
could almost say it had been modernized.
For what has been created by knocking down
decades of dividers and partitions is a sense of
space, openness and light that so characterizes
contemporary architecture. Avisual sweep of the
three Findlay rooms is now broken only by
restored arches, columns and a new colonnade
that helps recreate the tripartite concept held by
the original architect.
