A 1930 brick industrial building and a nearby 19th
century timber frame structure, the “WAG” buildings
had been abandoned and left to decay. In a 1998
feasibility study, Architects Smith & Vansant of
Norwich, VT, evaluated the condition of the
buildings, identified contributing historical
features, and developed scenarios for possible
adaptive re-use of the site. This work eventually
led to a project to renovate the brick building for
a community service consortium with a program that
included small media studios, office space,
education areas, and a rehearsal space for teen
theater counselors, at a site adjacent to the
reviving Windsor Main Street.
Over the years, Trumbull-Nelson has been involved
with similar renovation projects involving mills,
older school buildings and various historic
properties. The Company served as Construction
Manager for the Windsor Area Community Partnership’s
Windsor Connection Project.
