Fort Lauderdale’s historic South Side School has been a beloved landmark since 1922. After serving as an educational facility for decades, the school was closed in the 1990s and later added to the Florida Historic Landmark Registry in 1996. Left vacant for years, plans to restore and transform it into a Cultural & Arts Center began in 2004, culminating in its grand reopening in 2017.

Historic renovations come with unique challenges, and this project required sourcing and re-milling Dade County Heart Pine flooring to match the original construction. Albany Woodworks, known for its high-quality reclaimed wood, was entrusted with providing the heart pine flooring and re-milling the original boards to maintain the building’s historical integrity.

The U.S. Customs House in New Orleans, built in 1881, stands as one of the oldest and most significant federal buildings in the South. However, when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, the historic structure suffered extensive damage, rendering it unsuitable for occupancy. Preserving the integrity of this national landmark required high-quality materials that honored its rich history.

For the post-Katrina renovation, Albany Woodworks was selected to supply 16,000 square feet of antique heart pine and new heart pine flooring, ensuring the restoration remained true to the building’s original craftsmanship. The project was successfully completed in 2011 and later recognized as one of 22 award-winning restorations at the 2012 National Preservation Conference in Spokane, Washington.

Albany Woodworks was honored to contribute to the restoration of Taliesin East, the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright residence in Spring Green, Wisconsin. This historic landmark, built in 1911, served as Wright’s personal home and studio, reflecting his visionary architectural style. Over the years, the home underwent design changes and restorations, including repairs following an electrical fire.

When the Taliesin East preservation team needed to restore the cypress ceilings, they sought high-quality, authentic materials that stayed true to Wright’s original vision. Albany Woodworks was selected to provide premium antique cypress, known for its durability and historic character, making it the ideal material for this significant restoration.

Now a National Historic Landmark, Taliesin East remains a testament to Frank Lloyd Wright’s legacy. We are proud to have played a role in preserving this architectural masterpiece for future generations.

When the iconic Key West Lighthouse and its 1840s Keeper’s Quarters needed critical restoration, Albany Woodworks was chosen for its expertise in antique heart pine and cypress. Our reputation for providing authentic, high-quality reclaimed wood made us a key partner in the project.

Originally built in 1826, the 65-foot lighthouse has a rich history, including being maintained by a female keeper, an uncommon role in the 19th century. By the 1980s, both the lighthouse and Keeper’s Quarters required extensive restoration to preserve their authentic 1901-1915 appearances.

As part of a three-year restoration project led by the Key West Art & Historical Society, Albany Woodworks’ antique Dade County Heart Pine was used to repair and restore the structures. The result is a beautifully preserved piece of history that continues to stand as a testament to Florida’s maritime past.
