Parian Jewelers
99, Westwood Avenue, Westwood, NJ, United States
The First National Bank of Westwood alteration redesign (Parian Jewelers Building) by Westwood architect, William J. Martin, R.A., AIA, WJM Architect, is receiving a 2008 Historic Preservation Commendation Award from the Bergen County Historic Preservation Advisory Board in May. The building marks its 100th year in 2008.
The sympathetic redesign was chosen in the "Adaptive Use" category. Martin worked closely with owners Mike Viola and Roy Parian on the design details. "The owners attitude and commitment made this project a success." said Martin. The redesign was cited in the county award letter as an "excellent example of Historic Preservation effort" for the historical sensitivity it demonstrated. The project blended traditional and modern materials, creating an energy efficient environmentally sensitive design without compromising the integrity of the original design, achieving both important goals.
Selected from a field of other project nominations, the design appealed to the Board because it demonstrated a detailed effort to preserve and protect a building that embodies the rich commercial history of Westwood, the Pascack Valley, and Bergen County during the historic transition from a mostly agricultural economy to one of greater diversity.
This is the fourth Commendation Award for a project designed by Architect Martin in the last 8 years. Other project awards include the Bogert Built Furniture Office Building, also in Westwood, and the Pascack Historical Society Museum in Park Ridge.
The Awards Program ceremony will be held Thursday evening, May 8, 2008 at 6:30pm at Hackensack's historic Church on the Green, 42 Court Street, Hackensack, NJ. County Executive Dennis McNerney and the Board of Chosen Freeholders will present the commendation.
