We're also incredibly proud of the history of our new space. Originally built in 1940 for Lindberg Engineering (Boiler) Co., the building was designed by renowned architect Mary Ann Elizabeth Crawford. All these years later, our crew is enjoying the original 24 foot high drafting room, tons of natural light, and a secret room hidden behind a false panel in a cabinet that has houses a 1940’s microphone. If these walls could talk!
