We imagine change in historic and contemporary environments to cultivate thriving, sustainable, and resilient communities.
Today, Maddie Nelson, Jesus Barba, and Jesus Martinez are with @ericstaudenmaier at The Webb Schools in Claremont, CA photographing our recent projects—the Bonnie Johnson Hall and the Charles Huang Innovation Wing. We’re excited to share the final image soon!
Congratulations to @mercyhousing and Sacramento’s St. Clare at Capitol Park for being recognized as one of the Top 10 Affordable Developments, in the latest issue of @urbanlandinstitute‘s Urban Land Magazine.
Page & Turnbull was honored to have been both architect and preservation architect for the renovation of two former hotel towers, into a 134-unit supportive housing development.
@ronnyrenauthor writes, “The local office of Page & Turnbull led the restoration of the historical brick façades, as well as of such interior details as two original staircases and the lobby floor’s hexagonal tiles.”
The project has also been recognized with a California Preservation Foundation award and a Citation from AIA/California Residential Design Awards.
The California Preservation Foundation Trustee’s recognize projects from among the Preservation Design Award winners that are, “exceptional in their own right, and point to the future of preservation, highlighting the ability – and responsibility – of preservationists to address the problems facing communities throughout California.” Page & Turnbull is honored to have led two historic context statement projects – the Sacramento Black Historic Experience (2024 CPF winner) and the Sacramento LGBTQ+ Historic Experience (2025 CPF winner).
P&T’s Cultural Resource Planner, Clare Flynn, was project manager on both these projects and shared her experience working with underrepresented communities as a panelist on the “Engaging Underrepresented Communities in Historic Preservation” presentation, an educational session as part of CPF’s annual conference held May 6-9, in Sacramento.
Clare, together with City of Sacramento Preservation Planner, Henry Feuss, Preservation Sacramento president, William Burg, and several LGBTQ+ community members, lead a tour of Lavender Heights—Sacramento’s historic LGBTQ+ neighborhood—identified in the report as an eligible historic district.
@mcflynn0 says:
“As a Sacramento native, it has been an honor of a lifetime to be able to work on these two landmark projects to highlight and celebrate the history of our city’s vibrant and amazing LGBTQ+ and African American communities. More than anything, I was moved and inspired by the chance to get to collaborate with and form bonds with many members of our local LGBTQ+ and African American communities, who have played a meaningful role in uplifting their communities and the city as a whole, and to be able to share their vital stories with current and future generations. We owe the success of these projects to them, and I hope these projects will continue to serve them for many years to come.”
This Thursday – May 15 – Page & Turnbull Principal Peter Birkholz will be part of a panel presentation on Historic Preservation as part of the AIA East Bay’s 2025 Lecture Series. Peter, an Oakland resident, has completed numerous East Bay projects including the award-winning rehabilitation of the Oakland Monster.
