The Dessin Fournir group of companies that dot the downtown area of Plainville are full of artistic items, but the style by which owner Chuck Comeau chooses to design and decorate these buildings is art in and of itself.

 

The building interiors are typically stripped down to expose the bare walls, floors, rafters, and heating and air conditioning.  This open atmosphere has proven to be popular with employees who like the creativeness that is inspired by the environment.

 

Other features like pipe for railings, a variety of beautiful artwork, and other oddball type of decorative items only add to the ambience.

 

For the Explorer, tour the seven buildings in downtown Plainville located at 308 W. Mill, 310 W. Mill, 206 W. Mill, 223 W. Mill, 111 N. Jefferson, and 202 N. Main.  If your group would like a tour, contact the company directly at the phone number listed, or contact Rooks County Economic Development at 785.425.6881.  Regular business hours are Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
