With the decades that followed, when Phillipsburg turned into a cultural and recreational center,
the building remained as the testament of the lasting legacy of the town.
The owners of Pintler Suites were well aware of the building historical value and its central location; therefore,
they went through the accurate process of restoring the building to its 19th-century appearance and making it ready to be used in the 21 st century.
The original exterior character including exposed brickwork,
arched window framing and period-appropriate signage were preserved with great care and all help to make the building authentic and visually
compatible with the historic downtown district.
This was not a cosmetic restoration. It was a technical task that was based on precision and veneration to the architectural integrity.
Steel reinforcements were placed to provide a long life span with minimum alteration in the original proportion and material of the building.
It was this dedication to preservation that paved the way to the smooth incorporation of present-day
systems and amenities that turned the place into a modern Phillipsburg MT hotel without disturbing its history.
Structural Modernisation
In order to adjust Pintler Suites to the contemporary hospitality industry standards,
the redevelopment of infrastructure was implemented on a full scale.
Gas fireplaces and BBQ facilities were also added with new gas lines to serve the guests with effective and clean burning sources of heat.
It was designed with a powerful HVAC system in order to maintain the best indoor air quality and climate regulation throughout the year,
which is essential in the fluctuating Montana climate.
Zoned heating and cooling is incorporated in this system which enables each suite to be at a comfortably constant temperature without wasting energy.
Pintler Suites makes the impossible possible
All the wiring in the building was replaced with the current needs of electricity in mind,
allowing high-speed Wi-Fi, efficient lighting, and new kitchen appliances.
The original windows were replaced with energy efficient windows that have the same historical window design.
All of these enhancements improve the insulation and lower the energy use, but they also help with sound
proofing which is extremely important in assuring the privacy of the guests in an urban environment.
All the renovations have been done considering the local building codes and checked regarding ADA compliances.
The building lacks an elevator and all of the suites are situated on the second floor because of the limitations of the original
building and historic preservation restrictions.
The proper expression of this fact will mean that potential customers with mobility needs will know in advance.
Combining the old-fashioned aesthetics with structural modernisation,
Pintler Suites does the impossible: it offers the technically advanced, at the same time historically grounded hotel experience in the very centre of Phillipsburg.
