Residential Rehabilitation:  Maureen Stafford, 756Bay Street NE

Maureen’s vision of rehabilitating the home and carriage house took four years of intensive interior and exterior rehabilitation, including floors and wood salvaged from nearby homes, matching wavy glass and brick, relaying Cuban tile, and reconstruction of rafter tails.

Commercial Rehabilitation: Saunders Construction, Mecca Apartments, 916 1st St. N.

The Historic Old Northeast neighborhood 1920's apartment building is a great example of how preservation works! And was restored with the use of the City’s Ad Valorem tax incentives. Because of Saunders Construction’s attention to detail the apartments are once again considered a jewel of the neighborhood.

Adaptive Use: Constance Coleman, 2091 1st Ave N.

Built in 1920, the building is one of the oldest properties in Historic Kenwood. The two-story prairie style house is now a striking example of creativity while still maintaining respect for the heritage of the building and is successfully being reused for professional offices.

Residential Stewardship: Rothman Residence, 1018Park Street

The Rothman Residence was built in 1960 in the style of the Sarasota School of Architecture.  It is a classic example of Mid-Century design. The hexagon-based floor plan and the interchangeable use of interior and exterior materials blurs the distinction between the inside and out. Thelma Rothman, the original owner, has done an outstanding job of maintaining and preserving the residence for future generations.  

Residential Stewardship, Honorable Mention: Flori de Leon Apartments

Over the past 3 years the Flori de Leon cooperative apartment owners have undertaken major construction to preserve their 85-year-old  historic building, including repainting it in period appropriate colors to show off its architectural features.  The building, the former springtime home to Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, stands out as a downtown beauty where history has been preserved.

Preservation Education: Ken Breslauer

Ken recently published “A Guide to the Historic Sites and Architecture of St. Petersburg,” a wonderful illustrated guide to the historic architecture of the city. This resource is exceptional in its coverage of high style buildings, as well as the more unassuming mid-century structures and unique roadside attractions that are so rapidly disappearing from our urban landscape. Ken also is responsible for Historic St. Petersburg, a very active Facebook page highlighting historic structures from St. Petersburg with a collection of great old photographs.

Preservationists of the year Lynn Jeffery & Bob Jeffrey

Beginning in 1990, Bob Jeffrey and Lynn Jeffrey have played an unequalled role in the rehabilitation and preservation of Historic Kenwood, and they continue with unwavering stewardship of properties in the neighborhood.  Their influence in Kenwood has been transformative for not just the work they have done, but for the example they set both personally and professionally.  Their buildings set a standard of maintenance for the neighborhood.
