This 1920's beauty is well on her way to being fully restored as the 99+ year old floors are currently being refinished and original windows rebuilt. This church is almost fully done… we can’t wait to see the big reveal!
The Panther Branch School closed its doors in 1956 and Juniper Level Missionary Baptist Church purchased the property in 1959, continuing to use the building as a meeting hall and social center until the 1980s. The school eventually fell into disrepair and a concerted effort to restore the historic building began in 2001 after the property was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. A group of Panther Branch alumni came together and the JLBC Alliance was formed, incorporated in 2005 as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization. After many years of fundraising and events, the Alliance was able to begin initial planning on the phased project in 2009. Capital Area Preservation designated the building a Wake County Landmark in 2013 and Maurer Architecture became involved with planning the restoration of the building after the Alliance received a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Built in 1879, the Andrews Duncan House is a Raleigh Historic Landmark (1972), located in the North Blount St. Historic District and was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It has been unoccupied for many years after being used as offices for the State; the current Owners are restoring this gem into their own residence.
Congratulations to owners Jeff & Sarah! Over the last three years we have been privileged to work with them to restore the historic Montfort Hall with all its unique challenges and special rewards. A diamond in the rough no longer, Heights House received it's CO last week and is officially a stunning success. Here's to a job well done!
Since 1892, the W. Carter Winkler house—positioned in the center of Wilkesboro, NC —has endured throughout many years of growth, expansion and revitalization of Downtown Historic Wilkesboro, while maintaining its small-town charm.
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the house was lovingly restored by the Presnells after being purchased from Preservation NC. Check out the video below to see how the Winkler House looks now.
Maurer Architecture is so honored to have been involved in this beautiful restoration!
