and Lumpkin St. in Five Points. Chris Lloyd, owner of Hilltop Grille, convinced owner John Barrett that it would be a great location for a restaurant and its architectural character could be repaired and preserved in the process. The repurposing of this house has brought new life to a once declining structure and has reinvigorated the corner of Lumpkin Street and Milledge Avenue. The resulting popularity of the Marker 7 restaurant speaks to the success of the design. Outstanding Rehabilitation: Lorinda and Pete Crane for 297 Franklin Street | General Contractor–Nackashi Design + Construction Co. (Photo 6) In the fall of 2011 Lorinda and Peter Crane agreed to purchase a dilapidated, 100-year-old house at 297 Franklin St., originally built by a member of the Epps family.

The Cranes teamed with Jay Nackashi of Nackashi Design + Construction to work with what they had and save the house from what seemed to be a path to destruction.
