The Cooper integrates the façade of a historic furniture building into a five-story, 92-unit multi-family complex between North Market and King Streets. The site was formerly occupied by Cooper’s Home Furniture store built in 1894. The original historic cast-iron facade was preserved and supported structurally. Now, that facade is the elegant face of The Cooper. The facade integrates two separate glass-filled residential buildings surrounding an open courtyard with direct sunlight. An additional glass walkway also links the buildings on the Market Street side.
