Recreating the Heart
of Historic Galt
A once
thriving downtown is now unnaturally
quiet, remnants of the past echoing in a few, mostly empty 100 year
old buildings. In the historic center of town are incongruous gravel
lots fronted by a wide railroad right-of-way, a scene that has kept
this key part of the city feeling like it’s missing something.
Galt
Place transforms this forlorn site into a place with heart.
New senior
affordable housing built above storefront restaurant, retail and
office space will re-energize downtown Galt. The design is inspired
by America’s historic small town centers from the 1930’s, before
automobile-enabled sprawl siphoned off the people, the money, and
the life. Downtown Galt Place. A return to the past. A full circle
of success.
