IVORY KEYS APARTMENTS

Maugel DeStefano transformed a vacant historic mill building that formerly housed a piano manufacturing facility in Leominster’s Adams Street neighborhood into a 41-unit affordable rental housing complex. The new design pays homage to the building’s history by preserving and repurposing original elements throughout interior spaces. This project won Preservation Massachusetts' 2019 Robert H. Kuehn Preservation Award.  The award recognizes extraordinary projects that meld collaborative partnerships with creative ideas for rehabilitation and active reuse of historic buildings.
