Winners of the awards are:

Outstanding Restoration/Preservation
The Howes House
Bill and Sharon Teter at 145 Pacific

The Teters removed many years of un-permitted, inappropriate additions to the home to carefully return it to its original 1920’s appearance.

Outstanding Historically Sensitive Addition
Lori and Richard Blackburn at 150 MountainView.

The Blackburns added on to the rear of the home with a family room on the south side and a master bedroom and bath on the north side. They kept the style of the home in tact by matching the windows, the stucco and the scale of the rooms to the original Spanish Revival home.

Neighborhood Beautification Award
410 Pacific Street

The Spanish Revival home, owned by Christian Garner, was refurbished with wood multi-paned windows to match the original, new paint, plus new landscaping and hardscaping.

A special Judges Stewardship Award
presented to Victor Andersen, owner of the
Tustin Blacksmith Shop on South C St.

Andersen has owned the business and the historic Western False-front building since 1947. He has maintained the building and the blacksmithing business since that time. The judges commended him for his preservation of this historic icon in Old Town Tustin.

The Francis Logan Spirit of Old Town Award
went to our founding member and muse Carol Tink Fox. The Conservancy could not have been launched without her many talents and inspiration. Even though she has moved to the city of Orange, we know her heart is still in Old Town Tustin.
Thank you, Carol, for all you have done for us!
