Gold Medal Lofts

Windows: H450 Awning, H450 Picture Window, and Arch-Head Picture Window

Gold Medal Lofts is a historical redevelopment of the former Gold Medal Furniture building, which was originally built in 1909.

Gold Medal Furniture was best known for making camping furniture, including cots and chairs. Their cots became standard issue for the US Army and National Guard.  The company also developed director’s chairs that they sold to Hollywood companies.  In 1987, the company closed this location, and consolidated its manufacturing to a single location in Tennessee. That left the entire complex empty until the recent renovation.

Developers chose Quaker H450 Series windows to replicate the historic steel-look of the former windows. The H450 windows also brought a modern look with architectural strength. Narrow profile SDL grids simulated the design of the original windows, while the thin sight lines allowed for maximum views for the inhabitants inside.
