Seabird wins Historic Wilmington Foundation 2021 Preservation Award!

1 S Front St., the new home of Seabird restaurant in downtown Wilmington, has won a Historic Wilmington Foundation 2021 Preservation Award! The foundation's mission is to preserve and protect the irreplaceable historic resources of Wilmington and the Lower Cape Fear region. We are honored to receive the award for the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of this 1920 Italianate beauty, now restored to its former glory at the corner of Market and South Front St. The project team consisted of the building owner James Goodnight, tenant Dean Neff of Seabird Restaurant, Maurer Architecture, Smith Hanes Studio (Interior Design) Cheatham Engineers (MEP), and Old School Rebuilders.
