Ann Arbor Historic District Commission

2024 Annual Ann Arbor Historic Preservation Awards

Preservation Award:

"2023 Vinewood Boulevard — This wonderful mid-century modern house was built in 1951 and designed by local architect Thomas Tanner. It was built for Harry Cook, a dentist and friend of the architect, who lived in the house until the 1990s. Cook was the son of Thomas Cook, one of the two men who founded the Ann Arbor Foundry on Jones Drive, now known as the Northern Brewery, and a local historic district. The current owners have maintained the house in pristine condition. This award is presented to Bruce and Andrea Laidlaw."
