The building was originally construction in the 1920's and was renovated from 2008- 2010. The renovation included several sustainable building components and features. As a result, the subject is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) building, which included these features:

• Closed cell foam insulation
• 16 SER R- 410A refrigerant Heat Pumps with fresh air intake
• Solar thermal heat coil attached to the third floor HVAC unit
• Cotton batt sound insulation
• NO VOC paints
• Reuse of original materials such as oak flooring
• High efficiency water heaters

The previous owner of the Landmark Apartments listed in a marketing brochure that the building was designed in 1917 by Erle Stillwell. We have a scan titled "Sketch of Apartment House for Mr. S.H. Hudgins" (undated). Materials indicate Mr. Hudgins was president of the American Bank and Trust Company. Additional research notes indicate the building was constructed sometime between 1922 and 1926, apparently a rapid growth period of Hendersonville during the 1910s and 1920s.

The current owner group purchased the location from Karrob Properties in the Fall of 2007. The building had been essentially gutted to the floors and stud walls, with a "Model Unit" rebuilt on the first floor in order to resell condominium units within the building. The new owners, architects and Harry Deaton secured all remaining fixtures, doors, and accessories in order to rebuild the interior with the historic character in mind, as well as using current "Green" building practices. Over the next two years, architect Anne Maguire and builder Ken Gaylord worked with the new owner group to repair and rebuild the Landmark.

Floors were refinished or repaired with reclaimed wood to match. Original pieces of the floor were found to be stamped on the underside with a Biltmore Forest lumber company. Transoms were recreated and glass in the old style of "double glue-chip" was used. Window and door styles were matched to original type style, while incorporating cutting edge energy saving materials and design, including major sound reduction of outside traffic noise. Original "ice drop" doors were re-used and incorporated in the units. Original coal ash chutes were retained in the stairwells. An original lighting fixture was used to model replacement exterior lighting fixtures. Various stairwell transoms and lighting were remade with stained glass. A skylight was re-created based upon an old picture of the Catholic Church next door, which happened to capture the original skylight in the photo. Structurally the building was repaired from decades of settling, in order to protect and preserve it. Areas of brick were repaired with matching color a type or mortar. Iron work was repaired or matching units were installed on the porches and rear stairwell.

The efforts to use "green"/sustainable materials and techniques are listed separately. While the owners did not elect to attempt LEED or NC

Healthy Built certifications, they did follow the spirit of those guidelines. Indoor air quality and minimal chemicals and "off gassing" were essential. The project included a sustainability expert in GreenBy3 to help with selections of materials, adhesives, paints, insulation, energy efficiency, and a long list of additional details. Overall, the owners believe the result was a high quality renovation to preserve history while incorporating sustainable materials & practices.
