3. An enclosure has been built where the original servants staircase was located in kitchen, restoring the 1850s look of the area.
1. Paint 1829 Parlor
The 1829 Parlor was painted using colors identified in the Preservation Plan. Below photos show room before and after painting. The oak floor will be refinished after all the rooms are restored.
2. Replace 1829 Dining Room Ceiling
The Dining Room ceiling had been partially removed in the 1950s when the property was made into a duplex. A drop ceiling had been installed to hide the plumbing and electrical work installed at the time. In 2010 the ceiling, plumbing and electrical work was removed leaving the ceiling open. After reinforcing the beams, a new ceiling was installed. Below are photos before, during and after the ceiling replacement.
3. Build an Enclosure in 1841 Kitchen
An enclosure has been built where the original servants winder staircase was located in kitchen, restoring the 1850s look of the area. This space will be used for storage. Below are photos showing the ghost of the winder staircase in the corner (left) and the completed encloser (right).
