Rehabilitation of two Erie Canal-era manufacturing buildings into 38 apartments with ground-floor commercial space.
EDR prepared the Part 1 Application, Preliminary Determination of Individual Listing, and State/National Register of Historic Places Nomination to support the mixed-use rehabilitation of this highly visible, iconic downtown Syracuse building.
The Smith Supply Warehouse is the only surviving historic building on its block, which was largely demolished in the mid-twentieth century to make way for the I-81 and I-690 interchange. The rehabilitation of the Smith Supply Warehouse added 38 units to the downtown Syracuse housing market while maintaining ground-floor commercial space and preserving the highly visible exteriors, including the buildings’ iconic painted signage advertising the Smith company and its products.
