The Frick Collection: Renovation and Enhancement Project

Renovation and enhancement of this important art museum celebrates the architectural legacy and unique character of the Frick while providing contemporary museum services and amenities.

Nicholson & Galloway, Inc. skillfully installed a new copper roof and gutter system over the Frick’s Reception Hall; necessitated as this roof was raised by seven feet. The new batten seam roof, using period appropriate sheet copper roof system and details, fits flawless with both original historic portions of the building and significant additions. Custom grey toned tin/zinc coated copper protects Limestone Parapets surrounding the roof area.

Significant copper/copper alloy upgrades to the museum fabricated and installed by other parties include: Bronze curtainwall, railings, windows, gallery doors and elevator cladding. A custom copper rooftop equipment screen to conceal rooftop mechanical equipment from view. Notable Custom bronze ornamental metal work including clad entrance door, bar grilles and portals.
