New Purington Brothers Block, 341-347 Water St., Augusta

The New Purington Brothers Building was partially vacant and in need of maintenance prior to its rehabilitation. The building was rehabilitated into three first floor commercial spaces with nine new market-rate residential apartments on the second floor. The facade was restored to its historic appearance and many significant interior historic features and finishes were preserved. Deferred maintenance was also addressed. The rehabilitation was certified by the National Park Service in 2021. Photo by Scott Hanson, MacRostie Historic Advisors

International Order of Odd Fellows Hall - Brooklin, ME

The former International Order of Odd Fellows Hall in Brooklin, Maine had been vacant for a long period of time and was in poor condition as a result of deferred maintenance and water run-off from an adjacent street. The property was rehabilitated for use as a boat building workshop on the first floor with rental spaces upstairs. An appropriate drainage system was installed and the building's first floor structural system was substantially restored as part of the rehabilitation.
