505 Burson Place, 1956
William + Mary Bandemer
Renate + John Mirsky
Rehabilitation Award:
"The house was designed by prolific local architect James Livingston, whose buildings include Lurie Terrrace and Maynard House. He designed this home in 1956 for the Bandemers. Bandemer served on City Council from 1961-1965 representing the Second Ward.
The house is a typical one story, flat roofed building of the period with the doorway hidden from public view. The Mirskys have restored both the exterior and the interior, even preserving and restoring the original kitchen cabinets. They have also beautifully landscaped the grounds. The Mirskys have held open houses for A2Modern and have become active in the group and experts on Livingston’s work."
