The City of Covington is continuing its efforts to preserve and restore the historic Frank Duveneck House and Studio, moving forward with the next phase of rehabilitation work following extensive structural stabilization of the once-endangered property.
The City has engaged Merriman Anderson/Architects, a national architectural firm with an office in Covington, to lead the development of architectural plans and construction documents for the historic property at 1226 Greenup St. The firm’s work, in coordination with mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural engineering professionals, will establish the framework for the next phase of repairs.
The latest effort builds upon stabilization work completed in 2025 by Structural Systems Repair Group (SSRG), which addressed severe structural deficiencies that had placed the building at risk of collapse. That work included repairing deteriorated foundations, reinforcing compromised walls and floors, and addressing conditions that allowed water and the elements to penetrate the historic structure.
With those initial stabilization efforts completed, the City is now focused on developing comprehensive rehabilitation plans to address the building’s remaining needs while protecting its historic character.
