ONE STONE AT A TIME.

When we build, let us think we build forever. Let it not be for the present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time will come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them …

"See! This our father did for us."

This project was clearly the most impressive project they looked at this year in terms of complexity, execution, challenges, and outcome. When you consider they did the restoration on a facility's building that was open to the public, they could have written a complete dissertation on the challenges that they must have faced. It's a massive project that shows such a level of skill and craft in so many different areas, it had to win the award. On juror said: "To whomever did this work, I'm going to call the and just say, 'hats off'! This one is spectacular."
