Cityline Construction of Allentown is completing a
$300,000 renovation of a former frame and art shop that will serve as the new
office for Michael D’Amore, a magisterial district judge.
The property at 1007-1009 Union Blvd. in Allentown served
as the Boulevard Frame and Art Shop for more than 30 years, said Thomas
Williams Jr., director of real estate for Cityline Construction.
“The county had a need to have new magistrate space; this
was the perfect building to put it in that district,” Williams said. “It is
more Class-A type office space compared to most of the magistrate space in the
county.”
Renovations include a newly refurbished façade, wiring,
plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, new roof and
customization of woodwork cabinetry and upgraded counters. The office will
include a handcrafted judge’s bench, created by Josh Masters, a carpenter on
staff at Cityline.
Carpenters from Cityline also handcrafted bench seating
in the waiting room by using an oak support beam.
Workers also installed regulation bulletproof riot glass
in the reception area.
D’Amore plans to occupy the offices with a staff of five
by April 1 and will move from 1801 Union Blvd., Suite 112.
Cityline bought the 4,200-square-foot property in
October.
