If that house can be saved, anything can be saved. I walked past it yesterday and there is a lot of activitity inside that building, lots of framing and walls going up. I wonder how close the retored turret will be to the original? | ||

I love the shot of the turret base with the snow. Good eye, Andrew. How's work on Lucien Moore coming? | ||

When a building is this far gone, is it really a restoration or an identical replacement? | ||

I think it might even be cheaper to bulldoze it and build a complete copy of it from scratch. But it's nice to know that it's getting fixed up. What did it look like when it was still in one piece? | ||

It will get a new modern house built inside it's brick exterior, If it's like the brownstone on John R rehab. The brownstone on John R was in a similar mess. They gutted out all of the interior and tied new construction into the existing brick exterior shell. | ||

....catching up with the news I have noticed brick line walls on the interior of this dwelling(if i am not mistaken) Was this the norm for these houses in this area??? I have been monitoring the progress of this one for a long time now. I can't wait to see the finished product | ||

Thats a lot of love for architecture and history to restore that. And its awsome that someone cares that much. I love architecture and history as much as anyone, but that sure is a undertaking. Will look foward to seeing the final pic!! Thanks, and keep us updated. |
