This project consists of the historic preservation and renovation
of the Bristol & Sweet Harness Company Building located in downtown
Fargo. The 5-story building, which was constructed in 1916-1920, has
a 7,000 SF footprint and consists of heavy timber framing with exterior
load bearing masonry walls. The main floor was renovated
into new office space for Zerr Berg Architects and Gehrtz Construction
Services, bringing prominence back to the unique and historical structure.
The upper four floors consist of 28 loft-style apartments, ranging
from efficiencies to 2-bedroom units. The interior features
restored original terrazzo flooring, maple millwork, and contemporary
finishes. The replacement of windows matching the original,
larger size fills these spaces with natural light, and provides views
of downtown Fargo. A second interior stairway replaced exterior
fire escapes while a secure, handicap accessible entrance and new
elevator are provided for apartment residents.
