The Evanston Arts Depot
in Evanston, Illinois This project features WindowArt Security Solutions for the Evanston Arts Depot, the new home of The Piccolo Theatre, located in the newly renovated Metra Train Station in Evanston, Illinois. The base designs were inspired by the original ticket window security bars in the station.
We worked with John Szostek, Piccolo Theatre's Director on the addition of the decorative elements to all the WindowArt Solutions.
We wish to extend our thanks to the following people for their help and enthusiasm in creating this wonderful project:
* Mr. John Szostek, Director of the Piccolo Theatre and the Evanston Festival Theater, Inc.
* Mr. Peter Pieroni, Mr. Paul Jacobs, Rhonda and Bobby of Blinderman Construction Company, Inc.
* Mr. Don Moy of Globetrotters Engineering Corporation.
Decorative Windows
This pair of windows bookend a fireplace in a wonderful Chicago bungalow that is being lovingly restored. We refinished the windows and designed/installed the WindowArt solution with the client's choice of Amber English Muffle glass.
