Registered as an historic building, this 1910 English Craftsman home
needed major rehabilitation, both structurally and aesthetically. The
owners sought a complete home remodel to correct decades of neglect and
poorly designed alterations, seeking to restore original architectural
intentions and detail, wherever possible. The work was required to
conform to all National, State, and Local Historic Rehabilitation
standards and criteria. Without the benefit of any original
architectural drawings or historic photographs, the staff carefully
dissected the existing home to determine which features were original to
the structure, which were not, what significant changes had been made
and what features had been lost. While this home gives the appearance of
having always been in this neighborhood, with this new rehabilitation,
it is now set to go forward for at least another one hundred years or
more with structural durability, energy efficiencies, universal design
accommodations and systems prepared for today, and for the future.
