John & Debbie Stall
Preservationist of the Year Award

John and Debbie Stall purchased the Caroline Apartments in Golden Hill in an extremely dilapidated condition. After researching the building's history, they undertook a restoration of the exterior and a sensitive rehabilitation of the interior, restoring original fireplaces and other details. They rebuilt and repaired all of the original wooden sash windows and put in new heating, wiring and plumbing. They also had to have the building seismically retrofitted and to further protect the resource they had it designated.

Facing a future of either continued slumlord ownership or demolition, community leaders of Golden Hill and South Park feel strongly that no one but the Stalls would have undertaken the beautiful and accurate restoration that this building has received.
