Commissioned by Frank H. Buhl for the Sunshine Society—a charitable initiative championed by his wife Julia Buhl—the Sunshine Home opened in 1918 as a hub for community care. Today, after a sensitive restoration by JCL, it serves as modern office space and the headquarters for JCL Energy.
JCL acquired the Sunshine Home in 2013 and undertook a careful remodel to preserve historic character while delivering modern function.
What we focused on
Preservation of masonry and period details
Systems modernization (life safety, electrical, HVAC)
Bright, efficient office interiors suited to contemporary teams
Today: The Sunshine Home is the headquarters for JCL Energy, continuing the building’s legacy of service—now through innovation and local investment.
