Unveilings

The scaffolding and sheeting covering restoration work on three historic buildings in Old Town came down in recent days and the results are magnificant.

This building is on Štúrova, a busy street with several tram lines. It appears that the street level will be shops or restaurants. Perhaps the upper levels will be flats. The sheeting remains on the side street, so it will probably be some time before it is completed, but the work so far is impressive.

The sheeting just came off a restoration project on the pink building between the Czech Embassy (left) and the German Embassy (right). It appears it will be used as an office building, with one of the occupants Holcim, a worldwide cement supplier based in Switzerland.

This building is located on the opposite side of Hviezdoslavovo námestie. It is not yet occupied, so I don't know what is planned, but the restoration is quite beautiful.

Old Town is filled with these on-going restoration projects. I hope I will be able to see progress on a few more before returning to the U.S.
