Bob & Nadine Law – 2021 Preservation at its Best Award

Courtesy of the City of Adel: 

Each year the Adel Historical Preservation Commission recognizes a property owner for their efforts in preserving their historic property for future generations. 

This year’s award goes to Bob and Nadine Law for 1210 Grove Street. This property is truly an Adel landmark.  

In researching the property’s history, it appears to have been built after the war in the late 70’s or early 80’s. It was sold in March of 1888 to J.W. Russell and renovated later that year. 

It was known as the “J W Russell Homestead” and was held in the family until March of 1946. Bob and Nadine Law acquired the property in July of 1987.

Through Bob and Nadine’s efforts to preserve the historical integrity, they obtained the original architectural drawings of both the initial construction and the renovation.

On behalf of the Adel Historical Preservation Commission and the City of Adel, we extend our thanks and sincere appreciation for Bob & Nadine’s efforts in preserving an Adel landmark for future generations.  

Their personal time and commitment to researching the historical features of 1210 Grove, and to maintaining the property’s historical aesthetics is commendable.
