Grand Entrance for Jensen's


It was worth the wait. After winning a final approval by the city, the main entrance to Jensen's Recreation Center now features a grand, iron gate fit for a landmark hotel. The building is a city landmark, and the gate design needed to be approved and reviewed by the city to make sure it fit into the style of the 1924 building. What made it tricky is that the original design did not include a gate. So, the owners had to come up with a design that provided security but also respected the building's historic character. As an added bonus, a couple of cage-like enclosures in the lobby area will be removed.
