The architectural challenge of the Silver Trestle Building was to provide historical references of details and materials accompanied by modern interpretations. The resulting design being a rough, sturdy masonry appearance, blended with contemporary, refined details.
The 19th Century "flavor" of the building lends a sense of permanence and sensitivity to its unique presence in the commercial core of the downtown. Innovative modern ideas and techniques were provided and integrated into a historical background, one which is appreciated and respected by visitors and members of the community alike.
