The Westmoreland Museum of American Art experienced a renovation in 2015 by the architectural firm, Ennead Architects. The transformation of this center is visually dynamic where the goal was to effortlessly intermingle the old with the new. With an original structure based on the neo-Georgian design it was embellished with pre-cast concrete that expertly matches the limestone of the old building. This two-story structure features three new upright glass openings, a transparent backdrop that highlights the activity within to the outside world, and a portico of slim-paired columns. Using a simple palette of textures and material including glass and brick affords the old and new a beautiful symmetry.
