​Come join us for the Cincinnati Preservation Association's 2016 Spring House tour!  Tickets are available at: cincinnatipreservation.org

Built in 1870, FC16 is one of oldest standing Fire Houses in Cincinnati, Ohio. It's been structurally stabilized by the Max Construction Group and was restored and reinvented as a new restaurant and apartment. 

In 1978 there was a fire in in the Marshall's quarters resulting in a vacant building for several decades.   When the old boards came off the windows the sunlight came racing in - first time in nearly 40 years!   Wright Design's approach in designing the new restaurant was to not be heavy-handed with the new work, but to simply let the history shine through.

Thanks to the teamwork of Fireside Pizza, Hardman Investment, Walnut Hills Redevelopment Foundation and Max Construction Group, Fireside Pizza is now serving up hot wood-fired pizzas and cold craft beer on the first floor!

We appreciate the opportunity to share our home and enthusiasm for green design!
