The final phase of the Reliance Building’s preservation has created a street-level presence worthy of this vaunted landmark. The original storefront of Scottish granite and cast bronze has been reconstructed, and its large glass windows have proven ideal for the restaurant now occupying the space. Diners enjoy abundant natural light and passersby benefit from a lively addition to the streetscape. The hotel reception desk is located in a new lobby entered from Washington Street, and a serpentine half-wall leads guests past the restaurant to the historic elevator lobby. This space has regained its grandeur with reconstruction of the ornamental metal staircase and elevator grille enclosures and installation of new multi-colored marble on the floor, walls, and ceiling. Separated from the main hotel and restaurant activity, the historic lobby is a welcoming space for admirers of its glorious architecture.
