Physical Description
The 1.3 million sq.ft. complex is a series of 10 contiguous buildings. It was completed in 1906 by the Larkin Company
Current Condition
Seneca Larkin Holdings has begun refurbishing the exterior, including the installation of new windows and an elastomeric coating system, as well as entrances on both Seneca Street and Exchange Street.
Large floor plates offer up to 175,000 square feet on one level.
The stucco facade remains in place for now over concerns about the cost of removal, and the damage it may cause to the original brick facade underneath
