Hebert Construction’s renovation of Lewiston’s 19th century Dr. Milton Wedgewood House was “a labor of love,” according to COO Simon Hebert.
The year-long restoration was handled by Hebert, Avesta Housing and Lewiston Housing Authority as the centerpiece of an 82-unit, nine-building affordable housing complex, covering an entire block in downtown Lewiston. The project is being recognized by Maine Preservation for excellence in historic preservation.
“The building had been vacant and had deteriorated into very poor condition, requiring a comprehensive scope of work to bring it back to life,” Hebert says.
