LHS Narducci Award

 

Lambertville Historical Society established the Alice Narducci Preservation Awards in 1996 in honor of founding society president Alice Narducci. The award, a bronze plaque, recognizes the historical preservation of a structure’s exterior, restoration of a building to its original architectural integrity or a combination. Both residences and businesses in the city of Lambertville are eligible to receive awards.

At the LHS Annual Meeting on Sunday, January 22 the Alice Narducci Preservation Award was presented to Dina and Marc Fanelli, owners of 119-121 North Union Street.  The grand 150 year-old Tuscan Revival stone house was built by William Cowin, owner of the local iron foundry.

During the second half of the 20th century it served as a church, an art gallery, and an interior design studio before returning to a private residence in 2005.  Unfortunately, it was unoccupied for several years and fell into disrepair with roof leaks damaging both the interior and exterior.  The current owners  set about to restore the home to its former glory with roof repairs, undoing related harm to the porch and replacing most flashing.
