Transforming Buildings to Transform Lives 

A depression-era factory turned affordable housing and a rehabilitated bank transformed into community event space are among the 16 winners and finalists of the 2016 J. Timothy Anderson Awards for Excellence in Historic Rehabilitation—fondly referred to as “The Timmys.”

The awards—begun in 2005 and overseen by NH&RA—honor the late J. Timothy Anderson, a Boston architect and leader in historic preservation. They are the only awards program to honor preservation and restoration of America’s historic properties and antiquated buildings.

The 2016 winners were reviewed by a multi-disciplinary panel of judges including; Josh Anderson, Cedarbend Consulting; Ross Freeman, Pioneer Group, Inc.; Jim Igoe, Preservation Massachusetts; John Kelly, Nixon Peabody, LLP; Nick Ratti, CohnReznick LLP; and Karl Stumpf, EYP Architecture & Engineering. The winners were selected based on their overall design and quality, interpretation and respect of historic elements, market/financial success, innovative approach to construction and use of building materials, community impact, and sustainability.

Winners will be recognized at the 12th Annual J. Timothy Anderson Awards luncheon, November 2nd at NH&RA’s 2016 Fall Developers Forum in Boston, Mass.

These projects share an extraordinary—and common story: Developers see value in abandoned industrial buildings, often facing demolition, and restore historic architectural integrity—a process in which it is customary to rely on old photographs and chemical analysis to replicate paint colors that may no longer exist, but it is more than paint colors; it goes way beyond that. While renovating the buildings, the developers add modern amenities, and often exceed standards, such as energy efficiency and ADA access. Support comes from community leaders and government officials who understand how historic preservation can help bring economic development and life back to once-thriving, but now blighted, neighborhoods. Each success triggers economic activity in nearby buildings and streets—all made possible by creative, complex, financing. And each project also offers something more: a lesson in how historic preservation can transform lives and communities.

Best Commercial / Retail / Non Residential Project

Stoney Island Arts Bank
Best Commercial / Retail / Non Residential Project (Winner)

In October 2015, after 30 years of standing vacant, the rehabilitated Stony Island Trust & Savings Bank building reopened as the Stoney Island Arts Bank, offering community event space, and popular arts and cultural programming that has to-date, attracted more than 30,000 visitors. The original bank, opened in 1923, is located in Chicago’s Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood, and anchored a thriving commercial thoroughfare—that has seen extensive buildings demolitions and population loss over the last half-century. The building was condemned, and just days before its scheduled demolition in 2012, artist and Greater Grand Crossing resident Theaster Gates approached Mayor Rahm Emanuel with a plan to reuse it as a nonprofit arts and community space. Gates bought the building for $1, and to jumpstart funding, created and sold 100 special edition marble bank bonds for $5,000 each. The $6.2 million project was financed in part through $3.7 million from the Chicago Community Loan Fund, which supports revitalization of low-to-moderate income neighborhoods. The bank’s façade was repaired and its ornate main entrance restored. Inside, two-story plaster walls and ceilings were stabilized and the crumbling rear balcony was reconstructed. Offices have become artist studios, and, an area nearly destroyed by decades of water damage, was transformed into a library housing the research collection of the Johnson Publishing Company (publisher of Ebony and Jet magazines). Today, the Arts Bank supports approximately 20 full and part-time jobs.

Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Small (Under $10 million development cost)

The Lofts at NoDa Mills
Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Small
(Under $10 million development cost) (Winner)
Best Historic Mill or Factory Rehabilitation (Finalist)

Built between 1903 and 1905, the former Mecklenburg Mills building in Charlotte, North Carolina’s North Charlotte Historic District, boasted one of the highest concentrations of textile mills in the Piedmont South. Mecklenburg Mills flourished in the early 20th century, and weathered the Great Depression, but closed in 1969, and was eventually shuttered. The Community Builders (TCB), a non-profit developer, purchased Mecklenburg Mills in 2012, and completed its transformation into affordable housing—the Lofts at NoDa Mills—just as expansion of Charlotte’s nearby light rail triggered growth in the City’s north end. TCB turned the demands of historic restoration into an asset; e.g hoist way openings were restored to allow resident access to private balconies; and the boiler house was refurbished as a club and community room. The developer decreased the number of units planned from 60 to 48, to allow for a more historically sensitive interior layout; e.g. early 1900s fenestration dictating the design and placement of individual units. Financing for the $12.2 million project included a Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit equity of $3.58 million; and almost $4 million from the Federal Historic Tax Credit and former North Carolina Mill Credit.

Best Market Rate / Mixed-Income Residential

Arc at Old Colony
Best Market Rate / Mixed-Income Residential (Finalist)

This 17-story building, completed in 1893, merges two late 19-century innovations: speculative office architecture and structural metal framing, including wrought iron Phoenix columns, horizontal steel beams, and iron portal archives for lateral wind bracing. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 as a contributing structure within the South Dearborn Street-Printing House Row North Historic District. Adaptive re-use and modernization of the historically intact structure to residential apartments—tailored to the area’s growing student population – by MCJ Development – took full advantage of many the building’s original surviving elements. The 68-foot-wide vintage commercial floor plans were found ideal for conversion to residential use. In addition, the exterior facade was restored as was the original skin of the building, which included large protruding cornices and brick kneels. Detailed work included keeping the original 650 windows in place, and returning the entrance to its 1893 appearance. The $60.9 million project utilized $11 million in Federal Historic Tax Credits.

Edge at Union Station
Best Market Rate / Mixed-Income Residential (Finalist)

Constructed in 1915 for industrial and retail use, the concrete frame and terra cotta, eight-story Osgood Bradley building became a Worcester, Massachusetts landmark during WWII, when the factory produced proximity fuses for anti-aircraft artillery systems that protected American aircraft carriers. Despite changing hands multiple times, the building itself had undergone relatively little change when Vision Development purchased it in 2015, and converted it into an 81-unit, market-rate student housing development, designed to accommodate 251 tenants attending colleges and universities in Worcester. Restoration was as detailed as possible; brick and terra cotta facades, for example, were cleaned and restored. Where original elements could not be repaired, they were replaced with matching new or salvaged tiles and bricks. Likewise, most of the original wood windows had suffered years of water damage and were too warped to be repaired; replacement windows matched the originals in size, configuration, operation, and mounting. Vision Development also maintained existing historic storefronts on the first floor. Nonetheless, Vision faced difficulty securing State Historic Tax Credits because this was the first student-only housing development in the City of Worcester, and officials were reluctant to gamble on an untested venture. Vision Development, nonetheless, negotiated approval of $1.9 million State Historic Tax Credits by agreeing to a reduced real estate tax credit. In addition, the $38.8 million Edge at Union Station project used almost $5 million in Federal Historic Tax Credit. Zoning posed another challenge: local ordinances would not allow construction of 4-bedroom units—but neighborhood and regional business groups supported the necessary variance.

The Flats at Howard
Best Market Rate / Mixed-Income Residential (Finalist)
Most Advanced Financial Structure (Finalist)

Designed for downtown professionals and students seeking modern and efficient apartments in Omaha’s urban core, the ten classic masonry buildings making up The Flats on Howard are in the Howard Street Historic Apartment District (HSHAD), a unique area of multifamily residences that was once dominated by 19th century mansions built in a variety of architectural styles—and within walking distance of Omaha’s Central Business District. In 2012, while working just a few blocks away, developer Arch Icon saw potential in the deteriorating, old buildings, and envisioned a walkable, multifamily neighborhood. Arch Icon started to purchase and modernize properties, while valuing and respecting their history—which has given The Flats features such as courtyards and private balconies, as well as classic trimming, interior doors, and hardwood and terrazzo flooring. The most innovative aspect of this $18.9 million project—funded through a construction-to-permanent loan, a TIF loan, as well as $27 million in Federal and $2.3 million in State Historic Tax Credits—is the project scope. Icon spent three years acquiring 12 buildings and two parking lots, encompassing 95,000 square feet of building space on 2.48 acres. Efforts to create the sense of urban community include a new streetscape with acorn street lights and planters within bump-outs that reduce stormwater run-off and traffic.

Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Large (Over $20 million development cost)

A-Mill Artist Lofts
Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Large
(Over $20 million development cost) (Finalist)
Best Historic Mill or Factory Rehabilitation (Finalist)

Built in1880, a complex of buildings known as the Pillsbury Mill utilized power from the Mississippi River, and produced flour until 2003, when operations shut down. The deteriorating mill buildings sat vacant until 2013 when renewed interest in Minneapolis’ urban core, along with a new demand for affordable housing, prompted Dominium Development to acquire the Mill. Their plan: harness artistic culture and energy by transforming the former A-Mill North, South Mill, Cleaning House, Warehouse 1, Red Tile Building and Warehouse into 251 affordable artist apartments—and artist amenities, including a performance hall that can accommodate 120; a large painting studio with overhead natural light; a professional-quality dance studio; sound attenuated multi-media and music practice studios; clay artistry, music, photography, and paint studios; and large flex studios for artist-residents to create whatever captures their imagination. The mill had for years absorbed the force of transferring power through direct-drive waterwheels, which caused it to bow more than two feet; the structural team added steel support columns along the inside wall to prevent future bowing. The limestone, after 130 years, was also affected by freeze-thaw action, causing several areas to need to be replaced with cement masonry and refaced with Lannon stone (a limestone that does not expand over time) to meet federal and Minnesota historic requirements. Financing of the $181 million project—which has helped transform a once industrial street into a creative, vibrant residential and commercial riverfront neighborhood—included Federal and State Historic Tax Credits.

Loft Five 50
Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Large
(Over $20 million development cost) (Finalist)
Most Advanced Financial Structure (Finalist)
Achievement in Sustainability (Finalist)
Best Historic Mill or Factory Rehabilitation (Finalist)

Winn Development has transformed Malden Mills, an intact worsted wool and yarn manufacturing complex developed in the 19th century into Loft Five 50 in the Historic District of Arlington Mills of Lawrence, Massachusetts—built in the 1840s as the nation’s first planned industrial city. Six historic mill buildings now provide 137 units of mixed-income housing. Funding for the $59.4 million project included $20.4 million in Federal Housing Tax Credits; $15.1 million in State Housing Tax Credits; $6.7 million in Federal Historic Tax Credits, and $2 million in Affordable Housing Trust Grants. Restoration exposed the original interior brick walls and wooden ceilings; incorporated high ceilings and large clerestory windows for dramatic light; repaired exterior masonry and the clock tower (once again a functioning timepiece); preserved the historic stairway; and installed custom windows that function as they did in the 1850s. Much of the historic preservation also served aesthetic purposes; e.g. retaining the existing pulley and flywheel assembly and the original metal-clad fire doors. Ironically, preservation sometimes involved innovation; allowing natural light to fill the back end of units, for example, required trial-and-error in replicating the 19th century triple-pane windows.

Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Medium ($10-20 million development cost)

Chestnut Park Apartments
Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Medium
($10-20 million development cost) (Finalist)

In the city of Holyoke, Massachusetts’ Hamden Park historic district – the Holyoke Catholic High School, William Whiting Elementary School, Convent of the Sisters of Notre Dame, and Convent of the Sisters of Providence – are situated around a central green. All were built between 1870 and 1910; each in a different style (Italiante, Colonial Revival, French Second Empire, and Queen Anne respectively). All are known today as the Chestnut Park Apartments. Restoration by Weld Management included basics, such as interior trim, plaster wall and ceiling surfaces, wainscot paneling, and architrave doors. Stained glass windows were removed, cleaned and reinstalled; and the exterior porches were rebuilt in their original, historic style. Particularly interesting were the innovations, such as a choir loft becoming a bedroom. The City of Holyoke provided $1,250,000 in HOME funds for this $19.9 million project: the Affordable Housing Trust Fund provided $1,250,000; the Housing Stabilization Fund provided $694,534; and $5.5 million Federal and State Historic Tax Credits were used.

Cony Flatiron Senior Residents
Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Medium
($10-20 million development cost) (Finalist)
Most Innovative Adaptive Reuse (Finalist)

Historic rehabilitation of the Cony Flatiron Building in Augusta, Maine by the Housing Initiatives of New England Corporation has converted the former Cony High School into 48 units of affordable senior housing. This three-story 1926 Colonial Revival building served as the city’s public high school until 2006. In 2013, Cynthia Taylor of Housing Initiatives of New England Corporation (HINEC) proposed transforming the Cony Flatiron Building into affordable senior housing. In partnership with NDC Corporate Equity Fund XI and Housing Initiatives of New England Corporation (HINEC), the project was funded with tax credits from the Federal LIHTC Program awarded by the Maine State Housing Authority, and with Federal and State Historic Tax Credits. It also received a Community Development Block Grant and grant money from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco. Wide school hallways have been maintained, but challenges, including the city’s desire to preserve the auditorium, were met. The auditorium was restored to its original grandeur without diminishing the number of units or square footage of apartments. Occupants of these apartments now include seniors who were once Cony High School students.

The Home Front at Camp Anza
Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Medium
($10-20 million development cost) (Finalist)

Designed to serve veterans and their families earning 30-60% of the Area Median Income (AMI) in Riverdale, California, this $14 million project—done by the Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation—included rehabilitation of a 15,000- square-foot World War II Officers Club and construction of 30 new bungalow-style homes with site improvements, such as a swimming pool and community garden. The Camp Anza Officers Club – one of only 13 remaining in the U.S. – exemplifies temporary military construction during World War II. It was built hastily, followed a standardized 1940 plan, during a period of materials shortages (July-December 1942)—highlighting the irony in the effort to preserve what was meant, by necessity, to be temporary. Camp Anza served as a staging area for the Los Angeles Port of Embarkation where soldiers prepared to ship to the Pacific Theater. By the war’s end, more than 623,000 soldiers had passed through Camp Anza. Celebrities, including Desi Arnaz, Lena Horne, and Orson Wells, visited the Camp to entertain troops, and Italian prisoners-of-war were held there. Funding included $10.6 million in Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). The City of Riverside provided the land at no-cost ($2 million value) and over $600,000 in federal HOME Investment Partnership funds; and the County of Riverside gave $500,000 in HOME funds. Construction loan financing ($8 million) was provided by U.S. Bank and the development was awarded a $450,000 grant from the Home Depot Foundation.

The Lace Mill
Best Historic Rehab Utilizing LIHTCs – Medium
($10-20 million development cost) (Finalist)
Most Advanced Financial Structure (Finalist)
Best Historic Mill or Factory Rehabilitation (Finalist)

In April 2014, Kingston Happenings, the go-to source for everything Kingston, New York, reported, “Without a doubt, the restoration of the long vacant United States Lace Curtain Factory is one of the most significant, and potentially impactful construction projects in the city of Kingston in decades.” Major rehabilitation created The Lace Mill, an affordable community of 55 live/ work units with a preference for artists, and 30,000 square feet of common area featuring a public gallery, studio, artist utility room and community space. The property stood unused for nearly 30 years.

Built in 1903, it was once part of the area’s thriving textile manufacturing industry, which boomed at the turn of the 20th century, employing hundreds of local people over several generations. After purchasing the building in 2013, local developer RUPSO brought together members of the art community, architect Scott Dutton and others to create a restoration plan that would produce affordable housing, as well as economic development. The $18.8 million project was funded through various public and private sources, including grants from the city of Kingston, the state Homes and Community Renewal agency, non-profits and Central Hudson’s Main Street Revitalization Program, as well as $6 million in State and Federal Historic Preservation Tax Credits. The state of New York provided the largest investment including $9 million in Housing Finance Agency bond financing, a $572,287 annual allocation of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity, a $1.9 million HFA subordinate loan and a $2 million Homes for Working Families subordinate loan.

Historic Strand Apartments
Most Advanced Financial Structure (Finalist)

The 140-guest-room Strand Hotel was a prominent feature of the thriving business district at 63rd and Cottage Grove in the Woodlawn community in Chicago’s South Side. Constructed between 1914-1915, the defining features of this Classical Revival building—e.g. red brick and terra cotta façade; and ornate interior lobby—remained largely intact. It was designed by the architectural firm of Davis & Davis, made up of Charles G. and Zachary T. Davis, credited with prominent works including Wrigley Field, Old Comiskey Park, and the St. James Chapel of Archbishop Quigley Preparatory Seminary. The neighborhood reached maturity in the 1920s, and by the latter part of the century, the Strand Hotel, reportedly in decline, was converted into a single room occupancy hotel. This eventually closed and sat vacant for over decade. To preserve its architectural features and provide affordable housing, Holsten Real Estate Development recently converted it into 12 studio apartments, 50 one-bedroom units, and 1 two-bedroom resident manager unit. Holsten Human Capital Development (HHCD), co-developer of the project, provides social services – in-house and through its network of third party providers – to residents. Project financing was multi-layered including: Low Income Housing and Historic Tax Credit equity, donation of tax credit equity, tax increment financing, and two energy efficiency grants.

Livingston School Apartments
Most Advanced Financial Structure (Finalist)

WinnDevelopment’s rehabilitation of the Philip Livingston Magnet Academy (née Philip Livingston Junior High School) in Albany, New York, transformed a vacant 230,000-square-foot former school into a 103-unit, mixed-income, independent living community for seniors. Winn purchased the structure in 2014, and leveraged layout, bearing walls, door openings and general configuration of the building to preserve its original design; e.g. hallways were maintained as residential corridors; classrooms were converted into apartment homes; and areas that once housed the administrative offices were converted into amenity spaces for residents. Roughly 70% of the original door openings were maintained, and the school’s massive window frames provide tremendous natural light for the units and the second-floor resident lounge. Among the financial innovations: a reduction in purchase price by subdividing the site and allowing the school district to maintain a viable three-acre tract for a potential future development of compatible use. Winn, furthermore, leveraged numerous public and private funding sources including Federal LIHTC equity ($12.7M); Federal Historic equity ($4.5M); State LIHTC equity ($4.5M); State Historic equity ($3.9M); a $1,000,000 permanent loan from Community Preservation Corporation; New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal (DHCR) Housing Trust Fund loan of $2,150,000; City of Albany HOME loan of $425,000; New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) grants of $258,000; and a Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston loan of $454,000; and a PILOT, waiver of construction sales tax and waiver of mortgage recording tax through the Albany Industrial Development Agency.

Monsenor Romero Apartments
Achievement in Sustainability (Finalist)

The Monsenor Romero Apartments are in the Mount Pleasant Historic District, a cohesive residential district that illustrates the growth of Washington, D.C.’s early suburbs. Built in 1908 as two separate masonry classical revival buildings featuring double-door front entrances, the Romero exemplifies the district’s richly-detailed, classical revival buildings, created in the spirit of the “City Beautiful” movement. Low-income tenants joined together to fight landlord efforts to evict them when a mysterious fire burned down half the building. The tenants then asked for help from NHT Enterprise (NHTE), an award-winning national, nonprofit affordable housing preservation developer created by the National Housing Trust and Enterprise Community Partners. NHTE helped them purchase the building in 2010. Next, almost $1 million in 9% LIHTC was awarded in 2012 to make rebuilding possible. The project also used a construction/permanent loan from Capital One Bank, Historic Tax Credits, a $145k predevelopment loan from the Deputy Mayor’s Office, a $440,000 AHP award from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, $200,000 from the DC Sustainable Energy Utility and a $4,137,000 CDBG acquisition loan from the DC Department of Housing and

Community Development (DHCD). At the request of residents, it has been renamed in honor of El Salvadorean Archbishop Oscar Romero, an advocate for the poor, often called the

“Voice of the Voiceless” – and declared a martyr by the Pope.

Nichols Tower at Homan Square
Most Innovative Adaptive Reuse (Finalist)

The Nichols Tower at Homan Square in North Lawndale on the West Side of Chicago was known as the Sears, Roebuck & Co. Merchandise Building Tower, the tallest structure within the company’s 55-acre, five-building administrative headquarters and mail-order complex. When completed in 1906, the 14-story 250-foot tall Tower was the tallest structure in Chicago outside of downtown. It symbolized the prosperity of North Lawndale and of Sears as one of America’s leading retailers. The Tower was at one end of Sears’ Merchandise Building, a nine-story, one block wide, and quarter-mile long facility that housed manufacturing, processing and shipping. Sears left for downtown Chicago in the 1970s, and vacated its West Side complex in 1987. The Merchandise Building was demolished in the 1990s, leaving its adjoining Tower intact but empty—casting a shadow over North Lawndale, whose population and housing stock dropped by half between 1960 and 1995. Beginning in1988, the Foundation for Homan Square, created by former Sears executives, worked to improve life in Homan Square, with a redeveloped Sears, Roebuck & Co. complex at its core. The Foundation has created over 420 units of affordable, mixed-income housing around the former Sears complex. And in 2001, the 70,000 square foot Homan Square Community Center opened on the site of the demolished Merchandise Building. In 2009, the Foundation converted the former Sears Power House into the Charles H. Shaw Technology & Learning Center with the help of Federal New Market Tax Credits and Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits. The Tower was the last piece. Restoration by NHT Enterprise was completed in 2015. The ornate exterior was repaired, and original windows replicated. The lobby was returned to its 1906 appearance, the defining main stair was restored, and original industrial features were retained. The project’s crowning achievement is the 14th floor observation room, historically a tourist destination for visitors to the old Sears complex, and now a destination event space. The Federal Historic Tax Credit was integral, providing over $2.3 million of equity.

Market Street Village
Most Innovative Adaptive Reuse (Finalist)

Market Street Village is comprised of three formerly-vacant historic buildings along Market Street, which was until the mid-20th century the primary commercial and cultural corridor for Wilmington, Delaware—its “Main Street.” The Buccini/Pollin Group has, via a $26 million project, transformed these buildings into a mix of retail space and affordable apartment units. Built between 1910 and 1920, the buildings utilize architectural styles which range from mid-18th century to Art Deco. The three-to-five-story buildings provide first-floor commercial space, and 76 studio and one-bedroom apartments—a total of approximately 120,000 square feet. The Village is located on a concentrated ten-block stretch of Market Street, known as “LOMA” (which stands for “Lower Market”), that has emerged as the core of the Market Street—and a magnet whose pull is felt beyond surrounding neighborhoods. Residents here live near where they work; walk a lot and enjoy convenient rail public transportation; and also participate in a vibrant and growing street life. Market Street Village is thus an affordable component of a much larger trend: the return of life and vibrancy to centralized, downtowns slowly abandoned over the last 50 years as Americans experimented with suburbs. Sentences like “Let’s have coffee in LOMA” have become common in conversations throughout the metropolitan area.
