Restoration (2004 to 2007)

The B Street House around 2003

All north side windows are broken and boarded up

What foundation?

For the new foundation we moved the house

Construction of new window frames - using the original technique

The new windows are custom cut to fit each opening

Parlor and the original pocket doors

The original medallion - before

Cute roller for the pocket doors

There was not much to work with upstairs

New framing and insulation in the guest rooms

Ceiling in the original dining room. The 4 ft framed opening might have been used for an elevator!

This wallpaper in the original Dining Room had been covered with wainscoting by a previous owner

The Kitchen was sparsely furnished and not functional

By Christmas 2006 we finally had working lights in the house

Caspar puts some finishing touches on the bay window
