Constructed in 1923 as a women鈥檚 hotel and now 108 units of affordable housing, the Martha Washington had suffered considerable deferred maintenance and needed serious repairs.

LRS Architects and R&H Construction provided design and construction services for a complete renovation of the building. As demolition progressed, the team discovered minor dimensional variations between units, which required an individual evaluation of each room to make sure they met ADA requirements and that new appliances fit correctly.

Because the Martha Washington is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the project required restoration of many of the building鈥檚 historic features. To this end, ornamental plaster in the lobby and basement were restored to their original character.聽 Workers from from R&H also returned 350 windows and 100 doors to their original condition.

鈥淲e set up a wood shop in the basement and had workers dedicated to go through every window to make sure they looked good when put back together,鈥� said Brian Wing, R&H project manager.
