After six long months of painting, nailing, sanding and removing thirty years of debris, the last two windows in the SF Armory Window Restoration Project have been finally installed. This massive undertaking was a commitment that Kink.com Founder and CEO Peter Acworth made when he purchased the building in December of 2006. From its inception, this process went through many different stages; from first getting approval from the San Francisco Landmark Preservation board, to finding the right kind of window to replicate the Armory's historical aesthetic, to repairing the damage caused by years of neglect that destroyed the original window frames, the project has literally shed some light into the formerly gloomy interior of the Armory, and softened the building's ominous character. Having greatly enhanced the Armory's exterior, Kink.com is much closer to reaching the goal of restoring the building to its original splendor.
