About The Loft At Gray Goose.
Erected in 1900 at 207 N Academy St, Janesville, The Gray Goose Building first served as the Green Brothers Leaf Tobacco Warehouse. This was not just another tobacco barn, but a pivotal space where bales of dried tobacco were brought in, packaged, and prepared for distribution.
Over the years, the building underwent various transformations, serving as a storage facility, a manufacturing unit producing golf carts, and even a production site for mini trampolines during the exercise equipment’s heyday.
2016 marked a significant chapter in its history with a comprehensive renovation led by the dedicated owners. This wasn’t a mere facelift; the renovation was extensive, stripping the building down to its studs on each floor. New interior and exterior stair structures were meticulously added, along with a modern elevator, replacing the old freight variant. Each floor was equipped with new men’s and women’s bathrooms.
Furthermore, the entire electrical and HVAC systems were overhauled, a full sprinkler system was installed on all levels, and every door and window was replaced. While the flooring throughout the building is brand new, careful attention was paid to select materials that reflected its historical essence. A nod to its rich past, the original shiplap siding on the interior walls was painstakingly removed and then reinstalled after the incorporation of modern insulation and wiring, seamlessly blending the historic with the contemporary.
The pinnacle of this transformation is The Loft At Gray Goose on the fourth floor. With its open floor plan, impressive 30-foot ceilings, and commanding views of downtown Janesville, The Loft is a space where history and modernity converge, offering a distinctive and unforgettable experience for visitors.
