Montagno Construction revitalized the historic Russell School, transforming the 3-story, 30,000-square-foot structure into a modern space for professional and medical offices. Situated on a steep grade with the main parking lot across the street and down a staircase, the project posed unique accessibility challenges. Montagno addressed this by designing and constructing a ramp from Highland Street, leading to a raised parking platform at the 3rd floor level, seamlessly integrated into the site’s layout. The restoration work included repointing all exterior brick, refurbishing original tin moldings, replacing all windows, doors, and the roof, and updating interior finishes while preserving select original woodwork. New HVAC, electrical, and elevator systems completed the building’s transformation, giving Russell Place a new purpose while honoring its architectural legacy.
