It recently won the AIA Blue Ridge award for 2016. MARTHA CHESTER, PRESIDENT, HUGHES ARCHITECTS MARTHA CHESTER 78 | MAY/JUNE 2017 Past: St. Andrew's Catholic Church was contracted in 1897 and dedicated (at a cost of $108,000) in 1902. The architectural style is High Victorian Gothic, and care has been given to preservation. The beauty and richness of the interior finishes and furnishings have been carefully added over time. It seems to me that our histories are still tracking together. Present: The R & K Solutions building is attractive inside and out. It is basically a large metal building, yet because of the thought that was given to its design, landscaping and site placement it has been elevated from what could have been an industrial presence, to a corporate image. Color and form attract the eye to the front of the building, careful detailing in the lobby and office spaces inside the building and thoughtful planning of the work processes through laboratory and manufacturing spaces complete the architectural significance of this facility. Future:The Hancock Building was built in 1898 by Hancock THEROANOKER.COMhttp://www.THEROANOKER.COM
