Featured restoration

A 1926 Mediterranean Revival, brought back to life.

Designed one room deep for the cross-ventilation Florida’s climate demands, this two-story residence with its third-floor tower room was renovated to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and placed before the National Register of Historic Places and the City of Tampa Register of Historic Landmarks. During World War II it was home to General Rosenham Beam.

Preserving the Tampa Bay area’s historical properties isn’t a sideline - it’s award-winning work this team has done for decades.
