Lett Architects moving

Congratulations to Lett Architects on their upcoming move.

Lett purchased the building at 138 Simcoe Street in downtown Peterborough, next to the Bank of Montreal, and are busy renovating the entire building to make room for the growing firm.

Bill Lett plans to gut the building and transform it into an inspiring space, using local trades for all of the construction.

Lett Architects is currently located on King Street. The new space will be triple the size of their current location. Watch for an opening early in the new year.
