Preserving Historic Windows and Doors

Описание: The preservation of the Cannon House Office Building's historic windows and doors allows the building to retain much of its original character and charm, while increasing the building's functionality for those who work and visit within its walls.

The Cannon Building, the oldest Congressional office building outside of the U.S. Capitol Building, is in the process of a receiving a complete renewal. The century-old building is plagued with serious safety, health, environmental and operational issues that are rapidly worsening. Without action, the essential systems housed behind the walls and in mechanical rooms would continue to crumble and fail, impacting members, staff and constituents.

The Cannon Renewal project provides an effective workplace for the next century to serve the needs of the U.S. House of Representatives and support Congressional operations.
