Weinberg Building

By Marvin Remodel

The American Brewery Building, on the National Register of Historic Places, was honored as the 2009 Public Building of the Year by the Maryland Chapter of the American Institue of Architects. A specialized casing in oversized Round Top windows also required precise matching. Marvin was the only window manufacturer able to produce the casing in a single piece to fit within the allotted openings. On-time delivery was critical in order to meet grant and tax incentives that funded the extensive $21.2 million renovation.
