Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation 2015 Adaptive Reuse Award

Old Saratoga Restorations transformed the former carriage house of 718 North Broadway into a single-family residence. Most of the large ornate summer “cottages” along North Broadway had carriage houses that were located at the rear of the deep lots. The long vacant carriage house, now 28 Second Street, never drew much attention as it was clad in aluminum siding and had a modern garage door.

Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation 2014 Building Rehabilitation Award

This carriage house was moved from its original location to North Broadway. Old Saratoga Restorations managed the project and rehabilitated the structure.

Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation 2014 Porch Restoration Award

The condo association that owns the historic Colonial Revival Mansion at 48 Union Avenue hired Old Saratoga Restorations and Architect Steve Rowland of Butler Rowland Mays Architects to reconstruct the grand porch and balconies.

The restoration job included repairing, restoring or replacing the box newels, balustrades, corbels, columns, capitals and bases, as well as stripping and repainting the wood and brick. The trickiest past was duplicating the eye-catching curved balcony.

Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation 2012 Paint Initiative & Window Initiative Award

Old Saratoga Restorations and building owners Tom Gardner and Mark Straus of Historic Saratoga Restorations received two awards in 2012 for this project. The Paint Initiative Award applied to the facade work done on both of the neighboring buildings at 440-446 Broadway. A Window Initiative award was also given for 440 Broadway, where the original historic wood sashes were retained and repaired, rather than replaced. OSR custom-fitted double-paned glass in the restored sashes for greater energy efficiency.

Built in 1877, 688 North Broadway was most likely the first spec house built in Saratoga Springs by Abram Viele and John Darrow. It was sold in 1879 to Carrie Hamilton, who worked at Dr. Hamilton’s Medical Institute located at that time at 44 Franklin Street. Built as a summer cottage, for decades it was only occupied in the summer months.
