  • Return of the Campbell, an Ornate Grand Central Bar - the New York Times
    1/20/2019 Return of the Campbell, an Ornate Grand Central Bar - The New York Times Return of the Campbell, an Ornate Grand Central Bar By Robert Simonson May 15, 2017 The Campbell Apartment, a soaring, old-fashioned cocktail bar tucked away in an ornate corner of Grand Central Terminal, closed in July to the dismay of many commuters. It will reopen to the public on Wednesday — in triplicate. The main room — once the lordly private office of the railroad executive and millionaire John Williams Campbell, complete with Florentine décor, a coffered ceiling and a fireplace — will be reborn simply as the Campbell Bar. A second, smaller bar area just outside the entrance, bookended by two palm trees, will be called the Campbell Palm Court. And a former taxi stand just outside will be fitted with a third bar, the Campbell Terrace. Announcing the presence of all three, collectively titled the Campbell, will be a large awning on Vanderbilt Avenue. The bar’s days as a hard-to-find, slightly mysterious hideaway appear to be over. “We want people to know about it,” said Scott Gerber, the chief executive of Gerber Group, which runs several bars and restaurants in New York City. “We don’t want it to be that secret place. We want it to be more inclusive. There are so many people who commute through here every day who didn’t know about it.” Gerber Group won the lease last year after a legal battle in which Mark Grossich, who had restored the space and ran the bar for 17 years, sued the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the terminal.

  • Theaters: Restoration, Revitalization & Adaptive Reuse
    Theaters PRE-CONSTRUCTION PLANNING & DESIGN RESTORATION CONSERVATION MURALS, MOSAICS & ART HERBST THEATRE, SAN FRANCISCO THEATERS ENRICH OUR COMMUNITIES At the foundation of urban revitalization intiatives you’ll often find theater restoration. Architectural art inspires, particularly in performance spaces—gateways to new perspectives, experiences, and emotions. EverGreene began preserving, conserving, and restoring historic performing arts venues over 40 years ago, and our passion continues to this day. We understand that the show starts the minute you walk through the door. Our dedication to excellence, commitment to cultural heritage, and emphasis on craftsmanship has enabled hundreds of theaters to bring entertainment and beauty back to their original splendor. ALTRIA THEATER, RICHMOND THEATER PORTFOLIO RESEARCH & INVESTIGATION Historic restoration and conservation projects begin with research, investigation, testing, and analysis. Identifying the original architectural decorations and understanding the reasons for aging or deterioration help determine the most appropriate treatments and guide budgets. SURVEYS & CONDITION ASSESSMENTS RESEARCH & DOCUMENTATION FINISHES INVESTIGATION PAINT STUDIES LINK PRECONSTRUCTION PLANNING & DESIGN Whether a plan exists or if you require help articulating your vision, our cross-disciplinary team collaborates flexibly to advance project scope, address aesthetic and technical concerns, and establish appropriate budgets and timelines. Design services may include concept development, original design, replicas of historic schemes, plus digital and three-dimensional mock-ups. Oftentimes our solutions allow theaters to remain open and operating while restoration and conservation take place. CUTLER MAJESTIC THEATRE, BOSTON PRECONSTRUCTION CONSERVATION In theaters, conservation and restoration often go hand in hand. Your custom plan may consist of first conserving existing elements, and then moving onto restoring what’s missing or damaged.
