RECOGNITION & PRESERVATION
Honoring the Past. Building the Future.
Our work on Portland’s Marguerite Emerson House reflects something we care deeply about: preserving the character of older buildings while helping them serve the people who live in them today.
The project received a 2023 Honor Award from Maine Preservation, with Matt Alcorn recognized in the project credits as contractor. We’re proud to have played a part in preserving this historic home for its next chapter.
