This renovation
transformed a once historical building of late 1890 vintage into a real
home durable, healthy and energy efficient. Over its life, the structure
served many functions: carriage house, stable, servants' quarters, and,
since the 1920s, a single-family residence. The original plan was to
remodel the downstairs, but as the old stucco was removed, structural
problems became evident. This necessitated a total re-do, with the
owners insisting that the structure's historic character be maintained.
Quality craftsmanship and the ability to effectively resolve the
problems associated with a century of deterioration and neglect have
brought life back to this historic structure, creating a beautiful and
comfortable home.
