Iredale Mineral Cosmetics - New Headquarters Progress

The adaptive reuse of the former Bryant School building, built in 1889, into the new headquarters of the Iredale Cosmetics Company is on schedule. The old roof has been removed and new structural steel has been installed to support an entirely new roof structure converting the former attic into Class A office space.  The foundations for the new glass elevator tower are complete and ready for structural steel and glass walls, allowing for visitors to view the East Mountains across the Housatonic River as they ride the elevator from the lower level to the new third floor of this beautiful 1800's building.
