143-145 Brace Road

Maureen Glynn Kester, sister of the homeowner Margaret Glynn, receives the award on her behalf. Margaret grew up in this home.

The paint scheme shown in historic photographs of the Colonial Revival-style 1927 duplex occupied by the Glynn family since 1944 was restored. The owners carefully researched the methods of cleaning and restoring the historic black and white color scheme. Peeling lead paint was removed by hand scraping and disposed of at the MDC hazardous waste collection. The homeowners chose to use a special lead encapsulation paint called Fiberlock L-B-C Lead Barrier Compound. Kudos to the owners for their environmental awareness and commitment to historic preservation.
