This year, Maurer Architecture is honored to be part of 4 of the 12 Gertrude S. Carraway Awards of Merit, which are named in honor of a noted New Bern historian and preservationist. These have been presented since 1974, and are given in recognition to “individuals or organizations that have demonstrated a genuine commitment to historic preservation through extraordinary leadership, research, philanthropy, promotion, and/or significant participation in preservation.”
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.
We are honored to receive the 2020 Gertrude S. Carraway Award of Merit from Preservation North Carolina for our work on the Goldsboro Fire Station. This award is presented to organizations who demonstrate a genuine commitment to historic preservation.
