Dennis’ uncle had purchased a 1908 firehouse on old Main Street in a town near Des Moines. He paid $1 for it, with the stipulation that he had to improve its unsightly presence within five years.
Dennis was helping him restore the outside walls. The day I met Dennis, he and his uncle had visited a Chemist who was hired to determine the exact composition of the 1908 concrete mortar. Dennis’ uncle was not obligated to restore the building to its original state, just improve it, but he wanted to do it right. When they arrived at the Chemist’s office, he had caught the vision and he not only determined the ingredients, but had replicated the mortar exactly – same color, same consistency.
We’ve caught the vision too. The original Credit Union office is getting an entire new level; we’ve added a new bi-lingual branch in Midvale; and construction is in progress for a new branch in….
We’re improving it just for you.
