Farrar Building (Arbuckle Costic Architects Office Building)

Built in 1917, located in Downtown Salem, the 6,400-square-foot Farrar building is the last one-story brick structure on its block and one of few remaining in downtown Salem. An interior renovation in 1995 provided an art gallery effect and an excellent work environment, as well as space for displaying pictures of the firm’s projects. It was necessary to coordinate with the National Register of Historic Places in order to maintain its listing on the National Registry and to properly preserve the building.

The west side is a professional office space which includes three private offices, three conference rooms, and twenty other desks in a combination of shared and individual cubicle spaces. The work spaces are separated by five-foot walls allowing an open feeling, enhanced by the eleven-foot tall ceilings, throughout the office. The east bay, currently being leased, includes additional office space in the front and restroom and break room facilities, shared by both businesses, in the rear.
