Salt City Title Co. | Hutchinson, KS
Preserving the Past. Creating a Workplace for Today.
MBC Construction transformed a 1,500-square-foot historic commercial space in downtown Hutchinson into a functional office for Salt City Title. The renovation balanced a complete interior rebuild with the careful reuse of architectural details that connect the finished workplace to the building’s past.
From exposed brick and polished original floors to refinished doors and a preserved bank vault, the project gives a local title company a distinctive setting for serving clients across Central Kansas.
Project Overview
Completed between October 2021 and February 2022, the project began with a full interior gut. MBC constructed new walls, restored historic doors that had been stored upstairs, exposed original brick, preserved sections of old tile, and polished the existing floors. The team also retained the large vault at the back of the building as a defining feature of the renovated office.
Reusing the Details That Tell the Building’s Story
Historic renovation often depends on recognizing which existing elements can give a new space its character. During this project, MBC brought several old-fashioned doors down from the upper level, repaired and refinished them, and incorporated them into the new office. Original brick, tile, and flooring were also preserved where possible instead of being covered or removed.
The building offered reminders of its earlier use, including the vault and old banking records discovered during construction. Those details helped inform a renovation that feels connected to its setting while providing the layout and finishes a modern title company needs.
Renewing a Downtown Space for a Local Business
Salt City Title provides title insurance, settlement, foreclosure binder, and title report services to customers across Central Kansas. Renovating its downtown Hutchinson office gave the company a refreshed, client-ready environment while returning a historic commercial interior to productive use.
The project also shows how reinvestment in an existing building can contribute to downtown vitality. By adapting the space for current business needs and retaining visible pieces of its past, the renovation preserves local character without limiting day-to-day function.
For MBC Construction, the Salt City Title project reflects a practical approach to historic renovation: respect the original building, solve for the client’s operations, and make each retained detail feel intentional.
