1412 Dean Street

Originally built as a series of 1-story brick buildings, the engineering owner of Davison, Ransom & Barton, Inc., added the 2nd and 3rd floors in 1926 using structural clay tile. For nearly 70 years, the building had many types of tenants. In 1999, the firm of Flanders Architecture, Inc., restored the 3-story structure and converted the 1-story portion into an entry courtyard, Dean Street Court. This design preserved the historic Dean Street façade, and allowed the entry courtyard to serve both the restored historic building and newly-constructed modern office building. Notice the structural brick and clay tile walls in the courtyard. Currently, an organic coffee & tea shop and an architectural firm reside in the building.
