Commercial Doors Fabricated to Match Existing Interior

These doors were needed to match some large (10') tall existing doors in the Tea Room of the old Sibley’s department store in downtown Rochester. Closed since 1990, the building is being converted to mixed use apartments and commercial offices. The architect required us to furnish doors that matched the style of the room in an opening that never had doors. They furnished us with a rough sketch. We furnished shop drawings and then executed the doors in our shop.
