Pyne Preservation Award Winners

2005 2003 2002 2001 EARLY

At its 2004 annual meeting Preservation Durham bestowed the George and Mary Pyne Preservation Awards to three projects, all of them renovations of private homes that had been long neglected or badly renovated in the past. Today, all three are beautiful and stable anchors in their neighborhoods. (* indicates the building is included in The Durham Architectural and Historic Inventory.)
Congratulations to the 2004 Pyne Preservation Award Winners

OREN BELVIN HOUSE

*OREN BELVIN HOUSE, 918 N. Mangum Street Built in the 1920s, this house was subdivided in the 1940s into four small apartments. Shambhavi Kaul and Josh Gibson have removed the intrusive additions and partitions to restore the original flowing floorplan, uncovering windows that had been painted over and updating mechanical systems. They found original glass-fronted cabinets in the house and reinstalled over the existing counters in the kitchen where they fit perfectly in what seems to have been their original location.


W. BINGHAM HOUSE

I. W. BINGHAM HOUSE, 2307 W. Club Boulevard This one-and-a-half story bungalow built c. 1920 had stood empty for almost five years and was in a state of extreme disrepair when Brooke Buchanan bought it. She worked closely with her contractors to restore it to a comfortable modern home while keeping the original Arts and Crafts design elements and fixtures such as kitchen and bathroom cabinets. The house is once again an integral part of the Watts Hopsital-Hillandale Historic District.


RUFUS POWELL HOUSE

*RUFUS POWELL HOUSE, 1010 Lamonde Avenue This Queen Anne style house was built in 1904. After two mid-century additions and a stint as an apartment house, it has now been carefully restored by Teresa and Jennings Worley. The Worleys began the process by removing as much of the later additions as they could, including layers and layers of paint over the original wood wainscoting. They replaced inadequate roof framing and repair extensive damage caused by poor plumbing in the apartment bathrooms.
