When Performance Plus Liquids, Inc., chose Lacy Construction to remodel a 115-year-old, two-story brick structure in downtown Grand Island, Nebraska, neither expected the many historical surprises that greeted them at every turn.
What began as part demolition, part renovation, quickly turned into a historic restoration project. Performance Plus reached out to Lacy in November of 2015 to give the 5,808-square-feet structure (plus basement) a much-needed facelift.
But once this project got under way, we quickly discovered the building wasn’t just one structure.
It was actually two, separated by our most historic find — a brick wall covered in logos painted by hand more than 100 years ago!
