Cheek-Thomas House, 117 S. Driver Street |
EAST SIDE DEVELOPMENT - JOHN MYLES
Cheek-Thomas House and an East Durham Folk Victorian House, 117 and 119 South Driver Street. Myles took care to preserve the details of the ornately decorated porches as well as the original siding and decorative shingle work of these long-empty houses, and accented the details with authentic Victorian paint colors. Myles is bucking the trend to cover deteriorated exteriors with vinly siding and is setting a new standard for the neighborhood.

V. E. Wilson House, 1711 Lakewood Ave. |
ROBERT TROWERS AND GLORIA CLEMMONS
V. E. Wilson House, 1711 Lakewood Avenue. This house had been divided into four apartments, and was stripped down to the wall studs before remnovation began. In returning the house to a single-family residence, Trowers and Clemmons removed, refinished, and reinstalled wood trim throughout the house. Where original pieces were missing they bought salvaged items that are in keeping with the rest of the house. Two porches that were enclosed in the 1930s have been made into a kitchen and a study. |
R. W. Eddins House
2010 Englewood Avenue |
BETTER CAROLINA HOMES - CHRIS HUSAK
R. W. Eddins House, 2010 Englewood Avenue. Preservation makes good business sense! This 1920s front-gabled bungalow sold quickly after it was renovated following years of neglect. The lattice porch posts, unusual windows, and interior details have all been repaired beautifully. The fireplace and refinished hardwood floors add charm to the living room. To create closets, salvaged panel doors were converted into sliding doors. Husak also renovated the kitchen and updated the bathroom.

James Bain House, 1218 Broad Street |
DAVID SMITH
James Bain House, 1218 Broad Street. With the use of the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit program, Smith removed an unfortunate past addition and restored some missing pieces while preserving the distinctive exterior of this house. Alterations inside create bathrooms that are accessible according to the Americans with Disabilities Act, but the work is sensitive to the character of the house and carefully detailed. Although the house is today a law office, it can be converted to a residence with few changes. |
Whitted House, 1204 Markham Street |
PETER LANGE AND LORI LEACHMAN
Whitted House, 1204 Markham Street. Preservation-minded people like to see additions that are clearly different from the original construction so the original design can be understood and appreciated. Lange and Leachman's vertical addition is different from the style of this 1920s Spanish Mission house, but it blends beautifully. During the remodeling, the original stucco coating had to be completely replaced. Now barely noticeable from Markham Avenue, the new bedroom provides a marvelous private treetop view of Duke's East Campus.
