Stamford, CT – The Old Town Hall Redevelopment Agency (OTHRA) Chairman Tim Curtin held, along with Mayor Michael Pavia of the City of Stamford and the OTHRA Board, a recent grand opening celebration of the park and the Old Town Hall Building.
The Beaux Art building, dating back to 1906, has just received a historic interior renovation completed by Fuller and D’Angelo, Architects. The restoration included terrazzo floors with marble mosaic borders, historic borders, historic woodwork restorations, floor to ceiling window restorations, plaster moldings and
a very large scagliola wall panel and column restoration. All of the interior was returned to its original magnificent splendor.
Along with the historical restorations came an ultra-modern addition. The new two story transparent glass curtain wall called the “sail” added to the west side of the building draws attention to the adjoining classical façade and rejuvenates the Edward A. Connell Heritage Park, with its lower plaza, meandering walk and upper
park. With new City sculptures adorning the grounds, the new addition enables this older building to function as a modern structure, providing an elevator, mechanical room and main staircase allowing this old building to function as well as any new modern office building with its wonderful rehabilitated historic interiors. Some of the building is being used as a museum, the Ballet School of Stamford occupies another space, however, the majority of the space is ready to be leased to a lucky tenant.

Joseph Fuller, Jr., is the partner-in-charge of the project, Said Zomorrodian, the Chief Designer and Williams J. Means was the project architect.
