Historic renovation

S & W Kitchens Inc. has teamed up with the National Kitchen and Bath Association to donate its services for the restoration of the 210-square-foot kitchen and butler's pantry in Winter Park's Casa Feliz. The historic Florida estate home, built in 1933, is now owned by the city and managed by a nonprofit group.

Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the Spanish farmhouse-style home was once slated for demolition until a group of local residents rallied to save it.

The kitchen and butler's pantry are the only areas of the house not restored, said William Burke, the project's lead designer. The installation includes about $60,000 worth of cabinetry, countertops and appliances, which will be used by caterers during weddings, parties and other events in the house-museum. The kitchen's design will adhere to the home's historic period while still being modern and functional, S & W President Brian Cummings said.
