Congratulations to Vandenberg team member, Margaret Monsor

The leadership team of the Grace Church restoration project was awarded a Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award

We would like to offer congratulations to Vandenberg team member, Margaret Monsor, who was the recipient of a Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award for the restoration of Grace Church in Brooklyn Heights.

The Lucy G. Moses Preservation Awards are the New York Landmarks Conservancy’s highest honors for outstanding preservation. The Conservancy has been a leader in preserving, restoring, and reusing New York City’s wonderful architectural legacy for over 40 years.

Both the interior and exterior of Grace Church in Brooklyn Heights have been restored, to stunning effect. The removal of layers of brown overpaint on the wood-and-plaster interior revealed a dazzling polychrome paint scheme, with a magnificent blue-and-gold starburst pattern at the ceiling. Previously, it had only been seen in black and white photographs. A new copper roof and repairs to the brownstone will protect the sanctuary. The project also improved electrical, plumbing, lighting, hvac, and heating systems at this landmark church.

Meet Margaret Monsor: At Vandenberg, Margaret has been working as project manager of our brand new office space (to be unveiled September, 2015). She also works hand in hand with Vandenberg principals, Dexter Guerrieri & Jane van den Berg Ordway, on their personal townhouse renovation and restoration project.
