Sutherland, developer of Lofts on Willow, earns a 2008 NYS Historic Preservation award
The NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has honored local developer, Doug Sutherland, with a 2008 NYS Historic Preservation Award for The Lofts on Willow. Sutherland's adaptive re-use of the former CW Snow Warehouse, was selected for outstanding commitment to community revitalization. Only five other projects in the state were recognized.
The historically-significant building was designed and built in 1913 by architect Archimedes Russell. Aware of its value, the development team of Sutherland, Ted Kinder, Steve Krause, and Robert Medina were careful to retain many of the structure's original details, such as the mushroom-shaped concrete columns and concrete floors with painted aisle numbers.
Other details were restored to their original condition, such the installation of 13 ft. windows, which had been replaced by concrete block.
The Lofts on Willow now houses 49 one and two-bedroom loft-style apartments. Its location, near the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, the on-site parking and reasonable rents make it an attractive downtown housing option.
