Award Winning Historical Restoration Projects
Avatar Construction has had the opportunity to work on several award winning historical restoration products over the years. Preserving our history and important landmarks has always been an important aspect of what we do and the process always brings up new challenges making each project unique and rewarding. From minor restorations to complete building rehabs, Avatar is capable of handling all restoration projects big and small.
Littlefield School – Old West Bath Meeting House
This restoration effort has garnered a number of awards, including Sagadahoc Preservation’s award of excellence in their public buildings category for “… making a significant contribution to historical preservation in the Town of West Bath.” The project was also honored with the 2009 Governor’s Community Spirit Award, from Maine’s Office of Economic and Community Development. In 2011, the town received a Maine Spirit of America Foundation Award, for outstanding community service and for our efforts to promote volunteerism. Maine Preservation chose the Littlefield School project to receive a 2011 Statewide Historic Preservation Honor Award for the restoration and rehabilitation of the old building.
