W2A Design Group assisted the County of Lehigh in their recent Historic Preservation project at the Old Courthouse located at 501 Hamilton Street in Allentown.

W2A provided bid documents for the exterior repainting of the historic Old Lehigh County Courthouse, and assisted with the coordination of hazardous materials abatement (existing lead-based paint and asbestos-containing glazing compound), as well as incidental repairs required to existing wood trim, cornice and bell tower components, and replacement of deteriorated glazing compound and broken window panes.
The project was completed just in time for Allentown’s 250th Anniversary Celebration!

Once we settled on W2A, our vague ideas began to take definite form. They came up with a design that really impressed us.
