Railroad Square – Rehab

details

The Meadows Building, located at 1 South Maple, is one of the oldest structures in Brunswick, believed to have been built around 1875. Over the years, it has housed a variety of businesses, most recently known as Mommer’s Diner, it was previously the Smith and Carlisle General Store, then My Sister’s Place, one of Brunswick’s most colorful saloons, and before that, Bever’s Tavern. During renovations, the original Tavern signage was uncovered and carefully restored. It is assumed that residential dwelling units have always occupied the upper levels.
 
In 2022, a daunting construction process began, starting with the complete removal and rebuilding of the failing foundation. The upper floors were stripped down to the studs; while most of the original floor joists remained, they were reinforced for structural integrity. The exterior was fully reclad in low-maintenance fiber-cement siding, and new energy-efficient windows and doors were installed throughout. Inside, the layout was reconfigured to create two spacious dwelling units on the upper floors, while the ground floor was prepared for a future retail tenant.
 
This challenging historic restoration project was proudly completed by ZA+D, now anchoring the prominent corner of Maple and Potomac Streets in Brunswick.
