EXCELLENCE IN RESTORATION
372 Berkeley Street

Owners: Ruth Preston and Kevin White
Builder: DJP Homes Inc.

History: This Second Empire beauty was built in 1883. The original brick had been painted several times over.

Reason for the award: The award was given because of the respect that was paid to the detailing and the replacement, reuse and replication of those details. For example, the front facade was completely re-bricked using heritage style bricks and mortar as the old brick could not be saved, the detailing of the brick replicates the original style, dog-toothed courses of brick (under 2nd floor window) were employed to restore to original look, the keystone was preserved over the door, mansard slate roof (with dichromatic pattern) was installed to replace existing asphalt shingles, etc.
