The Neighborhood Conservation Award was instituted in 2002 to honor those who are saving the historic fabric of Durham neighborhoods. For example, a new house in an older historic neighborhood may recognized, if the house has been built to fit the character of its neighborhood. With this award, the Architectural Preservation and Awards Committee also hopes to recognize organizations that are having success in preserving historic neighborhoods. For example, a group of neighbors in Lakewood were recognized for saving houses there, one at a time, and finding owners. Thus they curbed the trend of investors converting houses to rental properties throughout their neighborhood. This category is broad and allows APAC to acknowledge a wide array of efforts to preserve neighborhoods that often go unnoticed and unrecognized. |

Hobgood-Tate House |
JOHN MARTIN, OWNER Renovation of the Hobgood-Tate House (c. 1910), 1001 Edith Street. This house had to be moved before it could be renovated. The new owner reconstructed the front porch using original posts, brackets, and railings; repaired original siding, doors, windows, heart pine floors and beadboard ceilings; and reconstructed chimneys. He added two bedrooms, a bath, and closets at the rear of the house, giving this house a new lease on life in its new location.

Whitfield House |
BULL CITY RESTORATION Renovation of the H. G. and Mary Whitfield House (c. 1907), 504 S. Buchanan Blvd. Work on this gable-and-wing Colonial Revival style house included refinishing hardwood floors and woodwork and adding a new kitchen. A new jack-and-jill bath was designed with a half octagon shape and a low ceiling to maintain the sense of the two original square bedrooms it now connects. Bookshelves on the balcony around the stairwell create a study space. New plumbing, wiring, and HVAC completed the transformation of a ugly duckling into a swan.

Fassett House |
CYNTHIA HILL & REX MILLER, OWNERS Renovation of the Dr. B. W. Fassett House (c. 1910), 303 Watts Street. Hill and Miller uncovered a Transitional Victorian gem when they removed old vinyl siding and rebuilt the wraparound porch on their new house. Inside, they preserved the elegant staircase, arched doorways, mirrored mantle, and hardwood floors and woodwork. A new kitchen and family room were floored with boards saved from benches from the recently demolished Minges Coloseum in Greenville. The attic was renovated into a modern home office. |
The Snow Building |
MAVERICK PARTNERS REALTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
COBBLESTONE REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS
RON CHESTER, BUIDLING SUPERINTENDENT
Renovation of the Snow Building (1933), 331 W. Main Street. Designed by Northup & O’Brian, The Snow Building is one of North Carolina’s finest small commercial buildings in the Art Deco style. New owners have updated it for modern tenants with up-to-date electrical, fire-suppression, communications, and HVAC systems while keeping many of the original original features, including the last manually operated elevator in the state. |
High House |
SUE DIMAGGIO, OWNER
Renovation of the William and Lucille High House (c. 1903), 830 Burch Avenue. The house needed major structural work, including removal of previous shed additions at the rear which were replaced with a new kitchen and master suite. Original doors, trim, hardwood floors, and other interior details were retained. Two fireplaces were restored with historically appropriate wood mantels and tile surrounds. The infrastructure of the house was updated with sprayfoam insulation and an on-demand hot water heater. |
1301 Mangum Street |
P & A HOLDINGS, LLC, DEVELOPER
Renovation of the house at 1301 Mangum Street. Work on the outside of this house included rebuilding the front porch and repairing wood siding, windows, and other trim. Inside, two apartments were consolidated into a single family residence. One kitchen and one bathroom were removed, the others updated, and a powder room added in the butler's pantry. The original mantles on the two fireplaces were saved and other woodwork cleaned and repaired. The basement was prepped for further development with a concrete floor and plumbing. |
