Building Rehabilitation
Mark Smith had a vision of turning the Old Columbus Firehouse & Light Artillery Armory into 5 high end condominiums; due to the location, the property was not favorable to retail. On the outside, the building maintains its historical look, but on the inside there are traditional and state of the art amenities including state of the art water heaters, sound proof walls, high end security systems, stone and marble countertops, high ceilings , crown moldings, the latest appliances and African mahogany hardwood doors, and the list goes on and on….
Mark recruited Architect Sam Kaye one of Mississippi’s preeminent developers of historical buildings and he drew up a plan to maximize the space of the 120 year old building.
