Lee Kennedy's Old State House tower restoration project honored
Lee Kennedy Co.'s historical restoration of the Old State House tower has been recognized with a 2009 Preservation Achievement Award. Given by the Boston Preservation Alliance, the Old State House was named a winner in the 'Restoration of an Iconic Boston Landmark' category.
Lee Kennedy Co. collaborated with The Bostonian Society, Tellalian Associates Architects & Planners and Preservation Technology Associates on this complex historical restoration. In just four months, the team re-gilded the tower's gold dome, restored the windows, applied new copper roofing and wood siding and performed other repairs in a $1 million effort to make the 295-year-old structure watertight. The team also re-gilded the original weather vane atop the tower, which dates back to 1713 when the Old State House was first constructed.
The project will be recognized at the Alliance's annual auction and awards event on April 30.
