Old World Preservation and Millwork
From the workshop of Latiff Historical"When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for the present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them and that our descendants say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, "See! This our ancestors did for us.”
-John Ruskin
About Our Mission
We are a window and door manufacturing and restoration company specializing in the pre-1940's era. Our mission is to preserve and maintain our historic buildings and homes so they can serve, be seen and enjoyed for generations to come.
Historic Restoration
Historic restoration gives us a visual representation of the great historical value and cultural significance our ancestors have left behind. It preserves our country's past for present and future generations to learn from and enjoy.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY are natural partners. Preservation and reuse of historic buildings reduces resource and material consumption, puts less waste in landfills, and consumes less energy than demolishing buildings and constructing new ones.
The Lost Art of Building:
We are what we build. Our buildings offer a telling narrative of who we are and what we believe and value.
Why do historic buildings just feel right?
A great many fundamental principles of architectural design are due to the Greeks and Romans, who created proportions for every single part of their construction.
Prior to the 1940s, houses and buildings were dimensioned according to the human scale, mirroring the inherent proportions found in the body (e.g., the relationship of fingers to the hand, and hand to the head). They were carefully crafted and built to last.
