Salisbury House
Des Moines, Iowa

Wolin was honored with the complete mechanical contract to
restore the plumbing, heating, cooling, and support system for the
Salisbury House and its Carriage House.

Extreme care was taken each day to ensure none of the art and/or
building facilities were endangered in this valuable component of
Iowa history.

This project was completed in Spring 2006.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Wolin crew installed several thousand feet of new copper pipe for the plumbing.
Original radiators, like this one found in the breakfast room, were replaced with new.
New radiators are ready for installation in the Indian Room.

 

 

Hotel Pattee
Perry, Iowa

Wolin has completed several projects within the hotel, including:

  • Greenheck replacement fans
  • Main lobby fireplace and exhaust
  • Fan coil communications room
  • Executive office
  • Laundry sewer
  • Laundry clean out and installation
  • Gift shop remodel

These projects were completed with a sensitivity towards the historical and cultural aspects of the building and the community.

Our goal has been and continues to be to reconstruct, rehabilitate, restore and preserve projects like these through conservation, maintenance, and repair.

 

Carnagie Library
Perry, Iowa

Walk into the Carnegie Library today and you will feel much the same as the residents of Perry felt in 1904. 

While there are few interior photos of the original library, that which remained was restored, and many clues as to the appearance of the original library were gained from historic photos of other Carnegie libraries in Iowa.  The selection of the new furnishings for the library was inspired by those early photos.   Every piece from the oak finished desks and Windsor chairs to the card catalogs and newspaper rack replicates a style used in an early Carnegie library.

A most beautiful building - inside and out.

 

Security State Bank Building
Perry, Iowa

The old Security Bank Building on the corner of 1st and Willis Avenue is now
the hub for Hometown Perry, Iowa's research and administration offices. 

The Security Bank opened for business in 1914. 
In 1917, the city arranged to move its offices to the first floor and eventually purchased the property. 

As the Municipal Building, it housed city services for 61 years.  In 1960 the city jail moved from the firehouse to the building's lower level.  Now, beautifully restored to its original Arts and Crafts style, the building will include restoration of the lower-level jail to tell the story of small-town law enforcement. 

Wolin completed the mechanical package for this historical treasure. All the plumbing, heating, and cooling systems were replaced and updated to adhere to today’s mechanical standards and safety code.

 

 

Soumas Court
Perry, Iowa

Soumas Court celebrates the people who make Perry a community, past and present.

The Court is named for the son of Greek immigrants, George Soumas, who grew up playing in this alley behind The Majestic Shoe Shop, his parents’ store.  Soumas is remembered for his service as a World War II hero, mayor, judge, county attorney, storyteller, and friend. 

Wolin installed a snow melt system at the Court, which means no more shoveling, plowing, or salting.  A snow melt system can actually extend the life of the brick as the freeze-thaw cycle is virtually eliminated.

 

 

RDG - Kenyon Building
Des Moines, Iowa

In October of 2000, Wolin was awarded the RDG Bussard Dikis project at the Kenyon Building in downtown Des Moines.

This project entailed a complete Electrical and Mechanical renovation of a historical building, which RDG had anticipated being placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Wolin Electric completed all interior and exterior lighting on this project, including Voice and Data cabling.

Wolin & Associates completed the full mechanical package of heating and cooling, plumbing, and piping.
