Our third Award for Excellence in Preservation from the Louisiana Landmarks Society this year, and it comes as a pair. Scroll to see the before photos.

1746 and 1748 Prytania were rehabilitated together, two buildings from different eras sharing a block, a history, and decades of mid-century alterations that had buried what was underneath. At 1746, removing acoustic tile and carpet revealed 12-foot ceilings, wood floors, plaster crown moulding, and a floating staircase that still feels like an early twentieth-century home. At 1748, peeling back the Perma-Stone veneer uncovered an Italianate facade that had been intact the whole time, porch boards, window casings, and all. Both had been quietly holding on. They just needed someone to look.

Proud to have been part of the team that brought them back, alongside the owners, Toulouse Millworks, Logan Killen Interiors, Pfeffer Torode, Luna Botanicals and Southkick | Rolf Preservation Works. A real collaborative effort, and many more years ahead for both.
