▲ 1st Place: Lakeshore Gothic
Mason Contractor: Western Masonry, Inc
Architect: Curtis Geolotte Architects
Judge's Comments: This project speaks masonry. Entirely clad in masonry, this project exhibits what architecture and masonry can do together. The limestone detailing around the front entry is continued on the windows and gives you a feel of a European home. Judges especially enjoyed the flow of masonry into the interior archways earning residential first place to Lakeshore Gothic.

▲ 2nd Place: Van Slyke Residence
Mason Contractor: Spencer Brickwork, Inc.
Architect: Dick Busch Associates
Judge's Comments: It's all about the detail on this project. Limestone trim on every window, the small and unique details throughout this structure gave the judges an old world feel. Not enough can be said about this project so second place goes to the Van Slyke Residence.

Mason Contractor: Fairweather Masonry Co., Inc.

Honorable Mention / Best of Show, Stone: Stegmann Residence
Mason Contractor: Spencer Brickwork, Inc.
Architect: Dick Busch Associates
Judge's Comments: The overall work and detail put into this 9800 sq. foot residence alone is worth a mention. The use of stone masonry and the onsite challenges of transporting the materials up the 700 ft. bluff; much was hand carried and up to 150 tons were transported in this fashion. Due to the masonry work and effort put into this project, the judges gave the honorable mention to the Stegmann Residence.
