THE MICHIGAN AVENUE BRIDGE
Chicago, Illinois

GC: FH Paschen, Chicago, Illinois

CM: US Architectural Glass & Metal, Darien, Illinois
Architect: Chicago Transportation Authority

The Michigan Avenue is a bascule bridge that carries Michigan Avenue across
the Chicago River. It lies at the foot of the Magnificent Mile between the
Wrigley Building and Tribune Tower and is a part of the Michigan-Walker
Historic district. The bridge was built from 1917-1920 as two parallel bridges
that operate independently of one another. It was designed by arch itect Edward
H. Bennett and is an early example of fixed trunnion Bascule Bridge which
became widely known as a “Chicago style bascule.” The bridge was incorporated
as part of Daniel Burnham’s 1909 Plan of Chicago to replace the bridge at the
foot of Rush Street. The Michigan Avenue Bridge is a double-deck, double
leaf trunnion Bascule Bridge, the first of its kind ever built. The bridge was
considered an engineering marvel of its time and engineers are still impressed
with the nearly-century-old bridge’s mechanical prowess. The stunning Beaux
Arts-style bridge was designated a Chicago Landmark in October 1991.

Allen Architectural was chosen to replicate the bridge’s original pedestrian

railings. The new railings will be cast and fabricated in aluminum. The entire
railing assemblies will be fabricated in the shop then dismantled and shipped
to the location for installation on the bridge. The more than 400 linear feet
of railings will have a high-end Kynar Finish that will match the color pallet
chosen for the city’s bridge.

BATTERY MARITIME BUILDING
Manhattan, New York

GC: Tishman Construction, New York, NY

Architect: Jan Hird Pokorny Associates, New York, NY

Designed by Walker & Morris in 1909, the Battery Maritime Building is a

140,000 square foot architectural marvel. This Beaux Arts building was
constructed in 1909 with nearly 8,800 elements of cast iron, riveted steel
plates, copper ornamentation, ceramic tile, stucco paneled walls and a copper
mansard roof.

Allen Architectural Metals entered into one of the largest restoration projects
in the history of New York City with the restoration of this landmark building.
The restoration and replication of the cast iron façade and railings for this
building took almost 3 years to complete starting in 2003 and ending in 2006.
The Battery Maritime Building continues to be one of the largest and most
challenging projects to date.

Hartford, Connecticut

GC: Consigli Construction Co. Hartford, Connecticut

Architects: SmithEdwards of Hartford, Connecticut

Trinity College was founded in 1823 on the site on what is now the State Capitol.
The campus was moved to its present location in the mid-1800. “ The Long Walk”
complex consist of three brownstone buildings designed by the English architect
William Burgess and executed by architect Francis H. Kimball. “ The Long Walk”
is the core of the 100-acre campus. Construction on the “Long Walk” was
complete in 1878 and the Northam Towers in 1883. Their design was the only
commission Burgess accepted outside the United Kingdom in his career. The
brownstones are prime examples of High Victorian Collegiate Gothic Architecture
and have long been the signature building on Trinity’s campus. This renovation
marked the largest renovation project the college had ever done while trying to
preserve the historical but functional buildings.

The renovation plans were drawn up with the help of Trinity Graduate Peter
Knapp. Peter a college archivist found the original building plans designed by
B u rgess and carried out by Francis H. Kimball. The 14 month long renovation
included stabilizing and reinforcing 88 stone dormers and restoring and replacing
1,200 cast iron windows among many other projects. Allen Architectural Metals
Inc. was responsible for the replacement and restoration of the cast i ron windows
which included 900 functioning cast iron frames and sashes fully glazed including
hardware and over 300 leaded and stain glass windows fully glazed including
hardware. Allen Architectural Metals Inc. also undertook the tedious task of
installing and making functional all of the windows in this multi-story, 925’
long building.

Architect: Thomas Phifer & Partners, New York, NY.

The understated elegance of this private residence radiates like the artfully
composed trellis system wrapping the house. Allen Architectural Metals rose
to the occasion to fabricate this contemporary trellis system in aluminum with
a custom color and finishing system specified by the architects. The primary
function of this sculptural trellis is to protect a priceless art collection and a
fine home and furnishings. Many hours of planning, machining and installation
went into this complex trellis which is masked by its simplistic design.

COLORADO STATE CAPITAL
Denver, Colorado

GC: Zimcor, LLC, Littleton, CO.

Architect: Fentress Architects, Denver, CO.

The Colorado State Capitol Building is located at 200 East Colfax Avenue in
Denver, Colorado. The building was designed by Elijah E. Myers to be inten-
tionally reminiscent of the United States Capitol. The architectural style is
the Corinthian order of classic architecture and has a Greek Cross floor plan.
Construction on the Capitol began in 1890 and was completed in 1908. The
building was constructed using the finest native Colorado materials available
including a rare Colorado Rose Onyx. The distinctive gold dome consists of
a plate of pure gold first added in 1908 and commemorating the Colorado
Gold Rush.

Allen Architectural Metals Inc. was responsible for the re-creation of the
elaborate cast bronze stair systems located in the four quadrants of the building.
These cast bronze components were replications of the original designs for the
buildings. Each piece began by creating a master pattern to produce the cast
bronze castings. Each casting was hand polished to a satin finish followed by
a hand applied hot patina finish for an aged appearance. Every component of
this elaborate system had to be cosmetically fl awless and mechanically functional.
There were thousands of components required to complete this job and each
one had to meet the highest standards of quality and match in color and finish.
The completed project is an artistic display of functional design.

MANHATTAN BRIDGE
New York City, New York

GC: Koch Skanska

Architect: New York City Department of Transportation

The Manhattan Bridge is one of three suspension bridges that cross the East
River connecting Lower Manhattan with Brooklyn. It was the last of the three
suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn
and Williamsburg Bridges. The Manhattan Bridge was opened to traffic on
December 31, 1909. The bridge was designed and built by Polish bridge engineer
Ralph Modjeski with deflection cables designed by Leon Moisseiff. The original
pedestrian walkway on the south side of the bridge was reopened after sixty
years in June of 2001. Allen Architectural Metals Inc. was responsible for the
recreation of the pedestrian canopies located 1/4 mile from both entrances.

The four 20’x25’cast iron and steel canopies Allen re-created were originally
designed to protect pedestrians during inclement weather while crossing the
bridge. The canopies also house the re-creations of the original cast bronze
plaques that give bridge specifications, architects, engineers and dates. These
massive bronze plaques were meticulously crafted in high relief and fine details.
There are a total of 4 canopies for the bridge, each housing one of the four
10’x5’ bronze plaques. Each of the canopies was fully assembled at the company’s
production facility then dismantled, finished and shipped back to the city for
anchorage to the bridge. Today they are impressive and functional as they are
an integral part of the Manhattan Bridge and skyline.

THE WILLIAMSBURG BRIDGE
New York City, New York

GC: Koch Skanska, NYC

Architect: New York City Department of Transportation

The Landmark Williamsburg Bridge is the largest of the three suspension bridges
that span the heavily-navigated Ease River. Construction on the bridge, the second
to cross this river, began in 1896, with Leffert L. Buck as chief engineer and
designer, Henry Hornbostel as architect and Holton D. Robinson as assistant
engineer. The bridge opened on December 19, 1903. Upon its completion, it
became the longest suspension bridge in the world. The first elevated train went
into service on the bridge in 1905. This bridge and the Manhattan B r i d ge are the
only suspension bridges in New York City that still carry both automobile and
rail traffic. The massive suspension bridge connects the Lower Ease Side of
Manhattan at Delancey Street with the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn
on Long Island. Allen Architectural Metals Inc. was responsible for the recreation
of large-scal torcheres that illuminate both sides of this bridge. These massive
torcheres were fabricated from steel and a combination of cast iron components.
Allen was also responsible for the recreation of the large decorative bronze figure-
heads and bandings that mark the entrance to the bridge.

Allen Architectural Metals Inc. was selected to re-create the four large-scale
electroliers that illuminate both sides of this bridge. These were fabricated from
steel and a combination of cast iron components. Allen was also responsible for
the re-creation of the two sets of decorative bronze figure-heads and bandings
that mark the entrance to the bridge on the Brooklyn side. These massive figure-
heads were molded and cast in bronze as exact replicas and polished to a satin
finish. The laurel leaf banding surrounding the illuminated obelisk that support
the figure-heads have been molded and cast in bronze to match the originals
from the bridge as well. Much time and attention to detail was necessary to
bring the giant of a bridge back to its original luster.

Chicago, Illionois

GC: Walsh Construction, Chicago, Il

Architect: Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill, Chicago, Il.

In 15 years of business Allen Architectural Metals has been a constant supplier

to the City of Chicago. Numerous designs have been created for street amenities
and subway entrances. The State Street/ Chicago Street Red Line Subway Kiosk
are fabricated with a steel frame structure and clad with delicately hand c a rved cast
aluminum panels and trim. The master carver incorporated wheat and grasses that
are native to the Chicago landscape into the design of the aluminum panels under
the close direction of the architect. The finishing of these structures i n c o rporates
a high-end automotive paint with high contents of metallic and pearl. Allen
Architectural Metals skillfully crafted these kiosk including the glass windows,
glass roofi n g, hardware and gates.

WACKER/WABASH SUBWAY KIOSK

Chicago, Illionois

GC: Walsh Construction, Chicago, Il

The Wacker /Wabash Subway Kiosk’s modern design and contemporary form
have been crafted using steel framing and cladding. The open spacious design
is accented by the large spans of glass that make up the roof system and eaves.
This streamline structure is a functional element for the Chicago Department
of Transportation and fits seamlessly into the streetscapes of the city. Allen
Architectural Metals Inc. fabricated this structure including the glass and
transported it to the city. Creating architectural forms that serve as functional

THE FOX THEATER
Hutchison, Kansas

Architect: Killis Almond Associated, San Antonio Texas

The Fox Theater is an example of the theatrical, architectural details that flourished
after the industrial revolution and the wide use of cast iron as a building material.
The ornate elements of the ticket booth were originally carved and sculpted into
master patterns then cast in iron with a painted finish. Allen Architectural
Metals Inc. re-created these cast elements in aluminum keeping their original,
ornate designs while requiring less maintenance of the booth for the owners.
The fabricated booth has a gilded gold finish and custom designed, frosted glass
windows as specified by the architect. The completed booth sits like a jewel box
welcoming patrons into this historical theater.
