This Four Square has been returned to its former glory over the last two years. A fire-damaged upper story that had been covered over with plywood has been re-shingled and the windows brought back to their original design. An old photo showing the second floor balcony inspired the owner to remove the inappropriate railing and return it to the original shingled siding. A warm palette of colors including a muted green on the lower clapboard siding, a darker shade of green on the shingled second floor and a burgundy trim on the window sashes show off its wonderful detailing. The tremendous amount of time and energy that went into restoring this remarkable gem in the Hampton Terrace Tract is to be applauded and is truly deserving of the 2009-2010 award.
