Built in 1912, the Friedman-Mincer building occupies a prominent intersection “Texas Corner” in downtown Fort Smith. Through rehabilitation the building received a new structural frame within the existing brick walls and a full finish out of the second and third floors, leaving the first floor as available space to rent. The new structure is a combination of steel columns and beams with glulam floor joists and wood floor decking. Along with the exposed brick walls, many of the interior surfaces were finished with reclaimed wood from the original structure.
