Join us for a humble plaque ceremony honoring 2023 Excellence in Preservation Award Winner, 646 Westside Avenue!
Owned by Gaye and John Dunstan, this charming restoration project is a testament to love, dedication, and an impeccable eye for detail. The Dunstans took on the task of uncovering the hidden beauty beneath layers of time.
Their meticulous work involved removing siding to reveal the original cedar siding and shingles beneath, which they lovingly restored and repainted in period colors.
But it doesn't stop there! John Dunstan, with his skilled hands and keen eye, replicated some of the wooden ornamental decoration pieces under the window by tracing the ghost lines, adding a touch of artistry to the restoration.
And let's not forget the corbels! They remade these intricate architectural elements, ensuring that every aspect of this historical gem was brought back to life.
Gaye and John, your commitment to preserving our architectural heritage is nothing short of inspirational. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition for your exceptional restoration work!
