FURMAN NUNNAMAKER HOUSE (c. 1927), 2515 Englewood Avenue This house had been owned by one family since it was built and was suffering from deferred maintenance when builder Miles Honeycutt bought it last year. He removed old renovations including exterior siding and interior panelling, opened up the enclosed front porch, and reconstructed built in cabinets using marks on the walls as a guide. Addition of a new master bedroom only increases the appeal of this charming cottage.

*WEST VILLAGE PHASE II (LIGGETT & MYERS COMPLEX) (C. 1884-1949), West Main Street These buildings are the earliest part of the Liggett and Myers Tobacco Factory, dating to the late 19th century. In the early 21st century, they have become the newest part of the Blue Devil Ventures development West Village, filled with 212 loft-style apartments and 100,000 sq. ft. of office and commercial space, bringing new activity to the former industrial district between Downtown and the Brightleaf District.

FLETCHERS GULF/GEER ST GARDEN (c. 1930), corner of Foster and Geer If you build it, they will come. And they have come to the Geer Street Garden, a new restaurant installed in what was once a derelict gas station. For rescuing this fantastic little building from ongoing decay, for preserving and restoring much of the historic detailing that makes it so unique, and for contributing to the ongoing re-invention of the Durham Athletic Park/Geer Street district, we are pleased to present Bob Chapman and Steve Baskin with the George and Mary Pyne Preservation Award for renovation of the Fletcher’s Gulf Station at 644 Foster Street.

SNIPES HOUSE (c. 1925), 1011 Monmouth Avenue This was another house that had been home to one Durham family for almost a century. Co-operation between the original builders' grandaughter and new buyers to preserve as much of the original fabric of the house as possible have resulted in a happy result for all. New upgraded systems, the addition of a new bathroom and a modern kitchen, and a new screened porch have added have brought this house up to 21st living standards while maintaining the charm of its early 20th century origins.
