Please Vote For my House Restoration in Hamilton!!!

I know this might be asking a lot…but I am up for an Award this year for my Restoration of the “Hambly House” in Hamilton Ontario :slight_smile: It`s one of the Last Art Moderne (1939) houses left up here.

I would really appreciate it anyone could vote for the house on the City of Hamiltons website here:

I voted for yah, good work man.

Were you the GC or did you do specific work on the house?

Totally not my style but I love what you did and the history behind it!

Moderne is one of my most favoured art styles of the early 1900’s.
I’m actually doing a few assignments now where I’ve chosen to use that style alongside a premature Art Deco mixture.

Love the house.

Voted!

voted… now come do mine :slight_smile:

Thanks a ton!!

There wasn’t a GC or Architect.
I was both the Heritage Consultant and the guy who did all the Window restorations on the place. It’s been a looong year working on that house.

That’s awesome Martino!

voted… hope you win

skuce your a long way from club pro, or do i actually have a different person?..lol…

Nope. lol. You have the same guy. I used to be a Nissan guy way back in the day (before the old Vital Motion) and a good chunk of my friends are 240 folks :slight_smile:

Thanks for the votes everybody! Just got an email that it closes Oct 10th!

cool man thaught that was you, i voted the other day for ya…

Voted. house looks really cool

I voted for ya man. Looks great!

Is Art Moderne another name for Art Deco? It looks Art Deco. In my opinion everything in art and design peaked in that period and it’s been downhill ever since.

We have two great examples of the style here in Buffalo, just on a bigger scale. We don’t have many houses in our area from that era.

You’ve probably seen Buffalo City Hall if you’re from Hamilton, but have you ever seen the Buffalo Central Terminal?

Art Moderne is Late-Period Art Deco. Early Art Deco was all Vertically oriented. All the spires and overall look went Up. Art Moderne changed and everything went Horizontal. It is basically the very first start of the whole “Streamline” style that happened in the 1950’s after the war.
You can see the last of the Art Deco in the door surround. It all goes up!

I have seen the city hall…but never the central terminal! that’s really awesome!

Last 3 days that you’re able to vote!

If you haven’t already, please, I would appreciate it if you could.

thanks!

Just saw that you responded. Thanks for the info and best of luck!
