Before-and-after Restoration To Brighten Your Day

On this February afternoon of dreary, overcast skies, let KC Restoration brighten your day with some awesome before-and-after pictures of our restoration work in the Deramus Building. Its offices and conference rooms contained 38 bronze grates in need of updating. MC Realty Group turned to KC Restoration to bring back the bright shiny finish intended to accent each room. We’re glad their commitment to keeping all the details of their buildings their absolute best allowed KC Restoration to work on one of downtown Kansas City’s beautiful historic buildings. We hope you enjoy the pictures just as much!

Beauties We Just Had to Show Off

 

Deramus doors

We at KC Restoration love seeing how metal accents on building exteriors can accentuate any style and provide a shining warmth that welcomes every passerby. We think these metal-accented doors give a regalness to their building’s entry. Would you feel regal passing between them? We did when KC Restoration got to refinish these beauties for MC Realty at the Deramus Building in the West Eleventh Street Historic District of downtown Kansas City. After our technicians finished their work, the gorgeous metal details in each panel really pop and draw your eye!

Work on the Deramus Building for MC Realty

KC Restoration is thrilled when our clients think of us when they have new projects requiring expertise in metal restoration and refinishing. Having worked with the wonderful MC Realty Group in the past and seen their commitment to their buildings and the details that make them beautiful, we are excited to now work for MC Realty on the Deramus Building.

The downtown office building had 38 bronze grates in offices and conference rooms that were in need of updating. KC Restoration is bringing back the bright shiny finish intended for such a great accent to one of Kansas City’s historic buildings.

From the beautiful exterior architecture to the interior’s ornate crown molding, stairs, and lighting, we were so impressed by the Deramus Building that we had to learn a little bit about its history. It started out as the three-story Pickering Building in 1925, designed by local architects Charles E. Shepard and Albert C. Wiser in a Second Renaissance Revival Style and with an abundance of brass, marble, and walnut paneling. At that time, it served as the headquarters for the Pickering Lumber Company which was founded back in 1894. Additional stories were added in 1950, and a modern addition from 1959-1961 completed the building you see today in the West Eleventh Street Historic District.
