LOWVILLE, N.Y. — The state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation recently announced that it has recognized 13 projects and individuals with 2025 New York State Historic Preservation Awards.
This year’s award winners include a historic-rehabilitation project at a former North Country hotel. The Bateman Hotel building — located in Lowville, in Lewis County — has been honored for Excellence in Historic Building Rehabilitation.
Built in 1869, the massive four-story brick building at 7574 South State St. “is a striking architectural asset in downtown Lowville’s revitalization corridor,” according to the May 9 announcement. A recent $2.7 million rehabilitation project used state and federal historic tax credits to refurbish the property, which is now known as the Bateman Apartments. The Bateman, which includes affordable-housing units and street-level storefronts, now has a new roof, windows based on historic documentation, and interior repairs.
The Bateman Apartments building is managed by Baldwin Real Estate Corp., a DiMarco Group company, according to its website.
Created in 1980, the New York State Historic Preservation Awards are presented by the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation each year to honor excellence in the protection and revitalization of historic and cultural resources.
