Mason City, Iowa
The Historic Park Inn Hotel, together with City National Bank, were designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1910. The design greatly influenced architecture in Europe and is as striking today as it ever was. The Park Inn Hotel is the last Wright designed hotel in the world, and a complete renovation, including restoration of the distinctive brick and terra-cotta façade as well as art glass windows will restore the Prairie School building to a functional hotel.

A cool addition to an Eichler or any modern home, the Ball fan from The Modern Fan Co.

Consciously Cool
Modern Fans can keep you comfortable while helping to reduce energy consumption in several ways. Like a nice breeze on a warm day, moving air offers recognizable relief from heat and humidity (scientists have a term for what’s happening on your skin-“evaporative cooling.”). This “cooling” effect allows for upward adjustment of your AC thermostat by as much as 8 degrees, resulting in up to 40% reduction in power consumption. In many cases, air conditioning can be turned off entirely, with a Modern Fan using less electricity than a standard light bulb.

Additional reductions and savings are gained in cooler seasons when Modern Fans are used to re-circulate heated air that would otherwise remain trapped or stratified near the ceiling. Furthermore, we offer longlife, color-balanced compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) options with nearly all of our products. CFLs use only 25% of the energy consumed by equivalent incandescent or halogen lamps.
