Sustaining the natural beauty of Ledges Hotel and its environment

Ledges Hotel is a distinctive adaptive reuse of The O’Connor Glass Factory, built of hand-cut bluestone in 1890. In order to maintain the aesthetic integrity of this historic building, internationally acclaimed architects from Bohlin Cywinski Jackson of Wilkes-Barre, PA were commissioned to combine their founding principles of designing to the “character of institutions” and the “sensibilities of individuals” for Ledges Hotel. Bohlin Cywinski Jackson architects are leaders in adaptive reuse and sustainable design, which is a priority for Ledges Hotel partners, the Genzlinger and Shuman families. In partnership with Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, Dakan Enterprises executed reuse best practices for the construction of Ledges Hotel. Ledges Hotel aspires to stand-out as one of Hawley’s green businesses in practice and design.
