The “Old Dimmitt Building” in downtown Georgetown, Texas was erected in 1901. The building began as a hotel, but evolved as the years went on, becoming Georgetown’s first movie house, then auto agency, and later a drug store, dental office, and bus depot. Remodeled in 1960 by Georgetown Savings & Loan Association, the Spanish arches, columns, and turrets of native stone were preserved. The building was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1965.
Undertaking an interior remodel of a Texas Historic Landmark is no small task, and The Burt Group answered the call with confidence! Partnering on the design with Noack Little Architecture and Interiors, The Burt Group took part of the “Old Dimmitt Building” and made it new. The original stone work, wood framing, and wood ceilings were saved and refinished to help maintain the look and feel of the 115-year-old structure in historic downtown Georgetown, Texas.
Remodeling a historic building in the heart of Georgetown offers its own set of unique challenges. A very popular destination for its citizens, as well as a place of work for many, downtown Georgetown was a constant flurry of activity. With plenty of experience in this type of environment, The Burt Group was able to navigate each phase of construction with ease.
