We are highlighting six of this year's Preservation Awards - four from the original city and two from The Mill District. There has been a great deal of private investment this past year in Columbus and their efforts need to be celebrated. These preservation champions take on the long, hard, and in most cases expensive task of preserving historic properties. Historic Columbus knows the challenges of this work.
Please join us in honoring these great projects!
2024 Preservation Award Recipients
This beautiful folk Victorian home, located at 514 First Avenue, was brought back to life from years of neglect and deferred maintenance over the last year. The renovation was comprehensive inside and out, helping to further stabilize the southern end of the Columbus Historic District. Historic Columbus is grateful to Jaqueline Boling for her commitment to preserving the character of this historic home.
600, 604, and 608 Second Avenue were originally built in the 1980’s as one building for a daycare facility. As the market in the neighborhood changed over the years, Larry and Shaun Bussey saw the potential to separate the structures and turn them into 3 single family homes. Each home has its own unique character that works seamlessly with the surrounding historic properties.
Originally constructed in the 1870’s, 745 First Avenue comes fully renovated and with hints of home cooked meals every day being across the street from Minnie’s restaurant. Much of the original historic character remains in the home. The team responsible for this renovation have previously completed a handful of other projects throughout the district and they continue to raise the bar each time. Historic Columbus is thankful to Cazogha, LLC for the value they see in renovating these beautiful historic properties.
804 Second Avenue has been painstakingly rehabilitated and is once again a gift to the street. Original heart pine floors, large glass windows, and updated bathrooms and kitchen make this house one of the finest in the neighborhood. HCF applauds Matthew Gaylor, Terry Montgomery, and the MG Bibb team for their hard work to bring this project together.
Built in the early 1900’s as a small commercial building complex, the two storefront buildings located at 3506 Second Avenue have recently been renovated to accommodate a local pottery business. Mollie Jenkins saw the potential in what these buildings could become and jumped right in. The pottery studio is primarily a production location but also has a small retail store along 2nd Avenue. Historic Columbus is excited to see continued growth and investment in The Mill District and applauds Mollie’s hard work to make it happen.
Serving as the Bibb City Masonic Lodge originally, the corner building at 3500 Second Avenue was constructed in the early 1900’s as well. The building recently received an exterior renovation that included new windows, storefront glass, and awnings that helped to activate and book-end what was historically the commercial district for Bibb City. Historic Columbus is thankful to Brad Turner and Justin Krieg for their ongoing work within the Mill District.
