Athinogenes Mansion Restoration Bridges 1880 and 2025

The Megaro Athinogenous, a significant historical building in Athens, is undergoing a major restoration as part of a revitalization effort on Stadiou Street. Originally constructed between 1875 and 1880, this architectural gem will be transformed into a centerpiece with a new eight-story structure featuring modern design elements that complement its historical façade. The project is spearheaded by Athens Creative, known for their previous successful renovations. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, a meticulously restored 1872 Italianate Victorian home has hit the market for $4,495,000 after a two-year renovation that preserved its historical integrity while adding modern conveniences. This Victorian residence, designed by esteemed architect Edward Leodore Mayberry, stands as one of the few remaining 19th-century homes in the Mission District, adorned with a vibrant mural celebrating the local culture. Both projects highlight the blend of historical preservation and modern adaptation in urban settings.
