avid and Deborah Morrison loved the
"good bones" of their 1926 Tudor home,
so when they needed more room they chose
to stay where they were—and call Gittleman
Construction Company.
"I felt they could honor the spirit of an old
house," said Deborah.
"It was a challenging job because of the age
of the house," added David, "and the
standards of reproduction we wanted."
And what they wanted is what Gittleman
delivered—on time, without hassle and in
perfect harmony with the home's intrinsic
character. Quarter sawn oak mission-style
cabinetry that makes the kitchen a "show
stopper," said David. A new family room and
mud room enjoyed daily by the couple and their four daughters. New exterior finishes that match the
• original. And, a master suite that both Deborah and David deem their favorite.
"I do like that room," said Deborah. "It's almost like being in a bird house, very pretty with lots
of windows."
The challenges of updating early 20th century construction were taken in stride and resolved perfectly
by Gittleman, David said, resulting in an 80-year-old home that lives like it was built yesterday.
So next time your near-historic home needs a nurturing renovation, rely on Gittleman to preserve its
character and prepare it for a future filled with family memories.

Some 45 grandparents, children and grandchildren were part of a multi-
generational field trip sponsored by the Council of Orthodox Jewish Active
Retirees (COJAR) on Feb. 2. The group went to the Lionel Trains Visitor
Center in Chesterfield Township, where they enjoyed the model trains, and
to the Morley Candy factory in Clinton Township, where they watched the
chocolate-making process. COJAR is funded by Detroit's Jewish Fund and
is under the auspices of the Young Israel Council of Metropolitan Detroit.
