We were recently selected to carry out the renovation and build of a new restaurant in downtown Chester, CT for a summer 2012 opening. This exciting opportunity is all about the conversion of the original 1871 Chester Savings Bank, located in the village on Main Street.

For the past 4 weeks, we’ve been going through an extensive interior renovation to build a new commercial kitchen, teaching area, foyer/entry, server stations, and of course… a grand dining room.

In some of the photos below, you’ll see our removal of the largest “mill stones” we’ve ever seen (currently preserved onsite for future use), our demolition of the night time drop box, removal of a vault door (3 vaults in the building), specialty drilling to get through the 36″ granite foundation, and more.
