Our Commercial Work
Public spaces present unique challenges of scale and scope. Restoring a two-story window is far different than restoring a second-story window! Yet we take on these projects with great enthusiasm, motivated by the knowledge that the work will be seen and appreciated by many people.
SULLIVANT HALL, THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
To give thanks for a generous endowment to OSU, the university wanted to create a special housing for a plaque in honor of the donors. In the foyer of one of the campus buildings, an eye-catching curved niche was created. We built an elegant arch and cross-rails to perfectly display the black-and-white photo of the donors.
Walt Disney’s International Gateway at The Epcot Center
Epcot’s International Gateway received a transformation in 2019 & Whitmer Woodworks was proud to be a part of the upgrade! Products featured in the guest relations building include custom designed and produced casings surrounding the ticket windows plus ceiling & wall decorative elements made exclusively to fit the Disney Theme Park’s grand design.
The University of Dayton Chapel
Opened in 1861, the chapel had undergone several changes and renovations over the years. In 2015, the widow frames housing the stained glass needed complete reconstruction. Working with Franklin Art Glass, we restored the window frames to their full glory.
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Mt. Vernon Ohio
This church was built in 1865, and is still in use today. When renovations were needed to the stained glass window casings, we were up to the task. Thankfully our workshop was long enough and just tall enough to accommodate the new frames.
sedgwick think Tank
When a business in Columbus wanted a special space just for brainstorming, we built a room designed to inspire creativity. The exterior is constructed with vertical panels that overlap to expose their edges, which are colorfully painted. Inside, an open structure encourages the free flow of ideas.
Pearl Bar - Dublin, OH
Columbus’ most recognizable restaurants have been linked to Cameron Mitchell since 1993. Mitchell’s newest restaurant and bar, The Pearl in the newly renovated Downtown of Dublin, Ohio is no different. This custom three-piece bar top is a state of the art masterpiece carefully crafted and engineered by the team at Whitmer Woodworks.
the Hayden building - Columbus, OH
The Hayden Building is Columbus’ original Skyscraper. The Hayden was completed in 1901 and stood as the tallest building in Ohio’s Capital City. This Historical Building was home to banks, restaurants and even the NFL headquarters from 1927-1939. Whitmer Woodworks engineered and produced these custom handrails, that were made to match the historic architecture of this iconic building.
Midland theatre - Newark, OH
The original theatre was opened in 1928 in Town Square - Newark, OH & after 50 years of use, the building was neglected for many years before the restoration of the historic landmark. We are honored to be a part of this historic theatre’s renovation who has hosted some of the best musical acts this country has ever seen.
Swan Lake - Event Center
Beautiful hand-rail, custom designed & produced by the team at Whitmer Woodworks for the Swan Lake Event Center in Powell, Ohio.
The Brunner Building
The Beautifully restored Brunner Building in the Historic, Short-North Arts District in Columbus, Ohio is home to one of the top marketing firms worldwide. 160/90 has created this elegant workspace for their valued employees. We were ecstatic to partner with this amazing company to provide this fully custom waterfall table and to create a one-of-a-kind, modern-barn door in their upscale office-space.
