Preservation of Historic Winchester\u2019s 55th<\/sup> Annual Meeting was held on Sunday, June 23 at Carter Hall, the home of Linda Ross Gibbs and Tommy Gibbs. At the conclusion of the business meeting, eight people and projects were recognized with awards by Preservation of Historic Winchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six of the awards were for Awards of Merit to recognize rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of buildings that contribute to improving the character of their neighborhoods and maintaining the overall historic fabric of the city. The recognized projects were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

221-223 South Loudoun Street, The Guitar Studio Building, 106, LLC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This circa 1945 building recently completed a fa\u00e7ade update\nto better bring the building in line with its modern construction by Daniel\nBrereton, the manager of the 106, LLC group.  It is also a notable project for being able to\nkeep the Guitar Studio in their longtime place of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

119 West Leicester Street, Nancy Murphy and Miguel Reyes <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nancy Murphy is carrying on the tradition of PHW\u2019s revolving\nfund by honoring our vernacular houses and giving them a second chance at life.\nMiguel Reyes, who completed most of the work on the house, will be purchasing\nthe property as his home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

414 North Braddock Street, Thomas Ritter, II<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This circa 1890s folk Victorian had long been a property in decline. The recent rehab kept the exterior in line with is historic appearance, and many of the historic pieces in the house were reused and repurposed. The house is Mr. Ritter\u2019s first project in Winchester but not his first rehabilitation project in the area. The project was featured in the Winchester Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

411 North Loudoun Street, Fort Loudoun Condominiums, Stan and Janet Corneal <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this is not the first major overhaul of The Fort, this\nwas the first major overhaul of the building since the mid-1950s when Irvan\nO\u2019Connell bought the former school and converted it to apartments. The Fort\nbegan a new phase of life in 2016 with a renovation to convert the apartments\ninto luxury condominiums. The apartments have original fireplaces, high\nceilings, gourmet kitchens, marble bathrooms, wonderful upstairs views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

501 North Loudoun Street, Pizzoco, Karen Darby<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This adaptive reuse of a former gas station to a pizza\nparlor was a project that had faced almost insurmountable odds finally came to\nfruition this spring. Much of the work on this project was going through the\npermitting process and working with neighbors to mitigate concerns in addition\nto the building rehabilitation. The award celebrates the completion of the\nbuilding and the opening of Pizzoco, the neighborhood pizza parlor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13 East Pall Mall Street, GinTon, LLC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This shotgun house from the early 1900s was a blighted and\nderelict property. By utilizing the local ten year real estate tax abatement\nprogram and discounted building permit fees, GinTon, LLC was able to completely\nrehabilitate the building. The house retains most of the original framing and\nfloors while receiving new electricity, plumbing and HVAC.  While not a traditional preservation project\nby many measures, it is hoped the efforts of GinTon, LLC will help turn over a\nnew leaf for the historic properties in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Elsie Rosenberger Award<\/strong> was presented to Frances C. Lowe. This award is named in honor of Elsie Rosenberger, who volunteered behind the scenes in the 1970s and 1980s. The award recognizes the unsung volunteer or volunteers who selflessly contributed to the activities of PHW. Mrs. Lowe volunteered to read over the retyped Winchester: Limestone, Sycamores & Architecture<\/em> manuscript for accuracy, grammar, and fact checking. The project took place behind the scenes at PHW from January to May. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final award presented at the meeting was the Patron\u2019s Award. <\/strong>This award recognizes a person or business which has been an outstanding supporter of the goals and programs of PHW. Elizabeth G. Helm was the mastermind behind the republication of Winchester: Limestone, Sycamores & Architecture<\/em>. Discussion of the republication and how it would be tackled had been discussed for years. It was Mrs. Helm\u2019s push that spurred the project to completion in 2019 to coincide the republication with Winchester\u2019s 275th<\/sup> anniversary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations and thanks are due to all our award winners for helping to maintain the historic character of Winchester and promoting the goals and educational aims of Preservation of Historic Winchester. We are also deeply indebted to Linda Ross and Tommy Gibbs for opening their home and garden to us for the event on Sunday. It was a beautiful setting and perfect weather for a garden party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
