NINA received a 2025 Connecticut Preservation Award for is work restoring the Plimpton House at 847 Asylum Avenue. The award recognized NINA and its team members, which included Crosskey Architects, James K. Grant Associations, John Canning & Company, the Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office, the Housing Division of the Hartford Department of Development Services, the Capital Region Development Authority, Local Initiatives Support Corporation, and the Hartford Insurance Group. Karen Pannone and I attended the event as guests of Crosskey Architects.
From the award jury’s comments: “This project is a strong example of sensitive rehabilitation, preserving an impressive array of original interior features—including millwork, stained glass, and decorative stencils—while thoughtfully adapting the home for multi-family use. Jurors praised the tactful execution, light-touch approach, and skillful integration of new elements, all reflecting the expertise of an experienced preservation architect. The restored period rooms are beautifully executed, and new interventions are discreetly and respectfully incorporated.”
