November 2023: Gibraltar Heritage Trust: a Special Commendation was awarded to "Napier House"

A Special Commendation was awarded to Napier House, 1 St. Christopher’s Alley for the sensitive conversion of an ex-MOD quarter into a modern family home. The Mumford family have thoroughly researched the history of the building and used the knowledge gained to inform the modernisation of the property into a family home whilst keeping original proportions and features both internally and externally. These include the fireplace, interior doors and skirtings, staircase and exterior features. External restoration has included retention and repurposing of features like the coal bunker and restoration of the wooden porch and retained in its original form. The property is an example of how more relatively modern buildings are also part of Gibraltar’s wider story and can continue to serve our community. The award was received by Helen Mumford.
