2015 Year in Review - Lina Gottesman

What was your most notable project, deal, transaction or professional achievement in 2015? The heart of Altus Metal, Marble & Wood has always been restoring historic architectural buildings. This past year we were very proud to restore all the entrances, especially the historic bronze entrance doors as part of the restoration of the former Jamaica H.S. in Queens. now the Jamaica Educational Center housing four smaller separately-administered public high schools that share facilities and sports teams. A Georgian Revival building designed by William H. Gompert of McKim, Mead & White, it is one of very few educational institutions designated as landmarks and the NYC School Construction Authority fully understood and appreciated the value of maintaining this structure.
