The Bowen Law Group has unveiled their renovated office space, located on the top floor of the Manger Building, which was built in 1912 at 7 East Congress Street on Johnson Square in Savannah’s Historic District.
Before the renovation, the 4,000-square-foot office had been converted into nondescript office space with drop ceilings, industrial carpet and walls blocking all of the views.
Attorney Charles Bowen had been in the space for seven years, running the Savannah branch of two Atlanta law firms.
“I have always been fascinated by the tremendous possibilities the space offered and regretted that such potential was being wasted. The moment I was able to procure the space on my own, renovating it became my first priority,” Bowen said.
The renovation highlights the historic accents that were part of the original construction, such as vaulted ceilings, detailed iron work and arched windows. J.W. Buckley and Associates were the architects for the project.
The project took a little more than a year.
“My goal is for the CEO of a Fortune 500 company to feel immediately confident upon entry that they are going to receive quality representation while also striving to make certain that every other client feels just as comfortable and welcome,” said Bowen.
Work from local artists is displayed throughout the renovated office.
The framing of historic photographs and documents was primarily handled by Julian Weitz from Friedman’s Fine Art.
“It’s important for me to support Savannah’s economy by displaying pieces from local artists. It gives me the opportunity to give back to the community by highlighting our local talent,” said Bowen.
