The award was presented by the Sierra Valley Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIASV) at the sixth-annual Modesto International Architecture Festival last month. “Any proposal to restore the work of this great architect should be celebrated, and his effort, on a significant example of Wright’s late domestic work was accomplished with sensitivity and skill," read a jury comment presented by Paul M.
