Manchester, CT – The Dye House Apartments in Manchester, was recognized with awards at two separate ceremonies held in April. Dye House Apartments received the Best in Class Multi-family Blue Ribbon Award at the 17th Annual Blue Ribbon Awards Showcase. The Dye House was also recognized with an Award of Merit for Physical Preservation at the 2012 Connecticut Preservation Awards held at the State Capitol.
Built in 1914, the Dye House is located in the Cheney Brothers National Historic Landmark District. The adaptive reuse project created 57 modern one, two and three-bedroom affordable apartment homes while retaining the historic charm of the building’s structure. Construction was completed in May 2011.
The former mill building was redeveloped by The Simon Konover Company in conjunction with Carter Realty, LLC and New Castle Housing Ventures. The project created unique apartment homes with high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and custom-made, large architecturally-detailed windows, preserving the classic timber and brick elements of the early 1900 mill construction style.
