Grunley Construction will fully restore and build the new National Sporting Art Museum (NSAM) at Vine Hill, an historic 1804 Federal building on the campus of the National Sporting Library (NSL), Middleburg, VA. Additionally, Grunley will construct a new wing on the southwest side of the original 19th century mansion.
At project completion (opening slated for the Spring of 2011) the museum will house 11 galleries for the exhibition of its permanent collection and for regularly scheduled specialty and traveling exhibits. The new museum will provide one of the largest and most comprehensive venues of fine sporting art in America.
In addition to fully modernizing the mechanical, electrical, life safety, and security systems within the existing building and its expansion, other notable project features include:
- Ornamental metal fabrications and replications,
- Custom-fabricated copper clad wood windows, and
- Beautiful herringbone-patterned wood floors.
Also grand staircases and numerous steel, stone and masonry details will be installed, maintaining the building’s historic tradition.
Ground breaking ceremonies are scheduled for September 19th, 2009 and construction will soon be in full swing.
