The
2006 House Beautiful Award was presented to Heidi Roth of 810 Jones St. by the
Watertown Arts Council.
Sandra
Pirkel created the pen and ink watercolor drawing of
the home.
The
home was purchased in 1914 by Roth's grandfather, John Bhend,
for his parents, Mr. and Mrs. August Krueger. For a time, the Bhend family used it as a rental property, and over the
years the residence fell into disrepair.
Roth
acquired the home from her family in 1994, and thus began a complete overhaul
of the property, which included gutting the interior of the home, a new roof,
and raising a roof to accommodate an addition to the upper floor. A deck has also been added to the rear of the
home. Much of the interior and exterior
work was completed by Roth. She did
use a few general contractors for the major construction projects. The home is
considered a three quarter structure. In the renovation process, Roth wished to
keep the traditional style of the home with Watertown brick and matching
shutters and awnings. She also renovated the bam, which is behind the house.
The Jones street location provides an easy walk to downtown or Riverside Park.
