Congratulations to the 2001 Pyne Preservation Award Winners


*Brodie Duke Warehouse, Morris and Corporation Streets
This 1878 warehouse is the oldest surviving example of Durham's signature tobacco architecture. Measurement Incorporated has reinvigorated the space with a sensitive adaptation into offices and examination grading spaces designed by Tim Hoke of New Visions Architects. The Brodie Duke Warehouse was part of Preservation Durham's 2000 tour, Durham's Tobacco Heritage


THE TRUST BUILDING

*The Trust Building (The Teermark Building), 212 W. Main Street.At six stories, this was the tallest building in North Carolina when it was completed in 1932 with its unique round corner facing an intersection. The developers made use of historic tax credits, Mechanics and Farmers Bank financing, city incentive programs, and a Downtown Durham Inc. administered facade grant to renovate this significant building.

Former Hudson Dealership, 121 N. Gregson Street. The Clear-Vue Glass Company has modified the 1923 building they have occupied since the early 1960s into a showroom where a beautiful round window back-lights glass art works, a sweeping patterned glass top serves as sales counter and an 1800-pound aquarium provides tranquil entertainment.

Frances Hill Fox House, 1911 Meeting Street. Archie Royal Davis designed this Virginia Colonial style house in 1938 as the centerpiece of a country estate. Hillandale Commons developers Bobby and Gloria Haywood saved the house and new owner Dr. Kerri Robertson went to great lengths to restore countless details, even to matching tiles that are no longer produced.

Rose House, 2027 Club Boulevard. Purchased by Dan and Helen Egger in 1993, this classic bungalow boasts a new addition of 1000 square feet by Michael White of Stein, White, Melligan Architects of New York so seamless that at first glance it almost appears original to the house.

House, 1808 Vale Street This two story, L-shaped gable-and-wing house in the so-called Princess Anne style is typical of houses built in Durham's first great building boom. Owner Martha Strobel has inspired the neighborhood and the Durham Circle of Justice is working with neighbors to breathe residential life back into this section of East Durham.

Markham Farmhouse, 1118 Watts Street. Originally a one story T-shaped farmhouse, this 1880s house has undergone a subtle renovation that has added a playfully complex second-story space not apparent from Watts Street and redesigned the secluded gardens. Most remarkable is how the design of the improvements effortlessly combines Southern antiques with Japanese furnishings.

M.M. Fowler, Inc. A special recognition award for changing plans for a BP Gas Station on Broad Street to blend with its neighborhood. With its adaptation of the Neo-Colonial design of the original gas station, a redesigned canopy, and old fashioned street lamps, this modern gas station and convenience store is significantly more appropriate to its location.
