At an inaugural ceremony on Saturday, August 10th 2019, the Narragansett Historic District Commission launched a new awards program to recognize historic preservation efforts locally.

“Over the past few years, Narragansett has benefited from an increase in historic preservation efforts and we want to recognize the dedicated people responsible…. They all make Narragansett a better place to live.”   — Keith Lescarbeau, Narragansett Historic District Chairman

Sweenor Builders was distinguished with an award for New Construction in a Historic District for the firm’s work on Caswell Street where  four declining properties were re-imagined as modern beach cottages.  According to the NHDC, the award recognizes “a new building, harmonious in form, material, siting and scale with the established district character.”

As a team of men and women that work in, live in, and love beautiful “South County” — we’re deeply vested in ensuring that Narragansett remains a vibrant village neighborhood — and we are thrilled to be recognized for this project.  To learn more about the awards program, click here.
