Old Central was found to be surprisingly intact despite multiple renovations, a tornado, and even attempts to demolish the structure. TAP’s design approach created a pristine modern interior that resides within a painstaking historic rehabilitation / restoration. Though from markedly different periods the modern and historic elements rest comfortably in each others presence.OSU-Old-Central-image-serie
