Mitchell’s Book Corner Opening & 41st Birthday Celebration

A party in June of 2009 marked the reopening of the newly renovated, two-floor space and also celebrated Mitchell's Book Corner's 41st birthday.

ReMain's goal for this project was to ensure that the new Mitchell's would have the same look and feel as the old Mitchell's, and yet renovate this historic structure in a manner that would preserve and re-use as much of the bulding's historic fabric as possible; improve the efficiency of the building's envelope, energy and water systems; and re-use existing interior materials or source environmentally sensitive alternatives.

The enthusiastic response to the store's reopening has demonstrated that an environmentally thoughtful renovation and the preservation of a historic property and a beloved community gathering place go hand in hand.
