THE PRESERVATION PARTNERSHIP WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

Since early 1977, The Preservation Partnership has specialized in historic preservation projects, with particular emphasis on New England town facilities. In addition to the projects described here, lists of historic Municipal Offices, Public Safety Facilities and Library Projects are also available.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH Concord, NH Inspection and Cyclical Maintenance Plan 2007 We are working with church authorities to formulate a timely maintenance plan for this fine and imposing granite church, donated by Mary Baker Eddy herself not long before her death, and designed by Boston medievalist Francis R. Allen, best known for his buildings at Middlebury College (Norman Williams, 603. 228 2812).

REBUILDING OF CITY HALL STEPS Franklin, NH Documents written, construction to proceed shortly 2007 This is a restoration of unusual front steps, some granite and some cast iron with glass prisms to light the basement. The project will require that a temporary all-weather enclosure be built around the work site, covering the sidewalk. (Brian Barry, 603.512 2111)

GLOUCESTER ARCHIVES PROJECT Gloucester, Massachusetts Cost to be determined 2007 We have been retained to design an on-site archive vault for Gloucester’s remarkable Second Empire city hall, whose five towers on a hill stand like a beacon for the city’s famous fishermen. This project has led to suggestions for restoration and expansion of the whole complex, embraced by the mayor, and the matter is before city council. (Ms. Sarah Dunlap, archivist, 978. 282 3943)

MILFORD TOWN HALL Milford, Massachusetts $1,000,000 2007 Starting in 1997, we conserved the entire building envelope, selecting appropriate historic colors, and specifying thorough preparation and epoxy conservation of exterior surfaces and trims. An elaborate and ornate tower was included in our meticulous restoration. Other special tasks included gold-leafing, and the chemical stripping and refinishing of carved foliate medallions. The finished project drew local rave reviews for the way town hall was returned to its original elegance and beauty. Following an equally successful repainting eight years later, the Selectmen asked us to put an end to tower leaks that had been a problem ever since hurricane damage was hastily repaired fifty years ago, and there also followed the restoration of the Great Hall and the historic town clock, also stopped by the hurricane. A current reflooring project is now next (Louis J. Celozzi, Executive Secretary, 508/634-2303). THE PRESERVATION PARTNERSHIP WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

CONTOOCOOK RAILROAD DEPOT Contoocook, NH $350,000 2006 This small but exacting restoration began with physical investigation and a Historic Structure Report, and was followed by a two-phase rehabilitation to roll back this historic depot, inside and out, to c.1900 for community and exhibit use. After a complete exterior restoration, selected rooms were restored to their precise turn-of- the-century appearance, while other interior space was used to introduce such new components of code compliance and accessibility as handicapped washrooms, a lift, and a second means of egress. The project won the lead 2006 preservation award from Inherit New Hampshire. ( Chip Chesley, chair, Contoocook Riverway Assoc., 603/424 5137).

KENNEDY PARK Fall River, Massachusetts $600,000 2003 Our work on this historic Olmsted park encompassed not only landscape features, but the rebuilding of an Olmsted scenic overlook that had been destroyed by fire, and the conversion of the “Ladies’ Comfort Station” (yes, a washroom) into Park Department Headquarters. Director Richard Kitchen (508. 324 2550), who loves his new office, will comment.

MILFORD MEMORIAL BUILDING Milford, Massachusetts $1,700,000 2002 This historic granite monument, built by the GAR to honor Milord’s Civil War veterans, has been meticulously restored to its 1884 grandeur, and is used as a community center for the performing arts. The restoration has brought back period trim and decorative plaster, lovely chandeliers, specially-woven rugs and custom wallpapers. The building has become fully code compliant, with a new elevator, modern accessible bathrooms on every floor, and a safe, internal stair tower as well as its stunning original granite helicoidal stairway. Every square foot of its original varnished woodwork, marble walls and coffered ceilings are now resplendent. (Dominic D`Allessandro, comm. chair, 508. 473 5616).

HILLSBOROUGH SOCIAL SERVICES CENTER Hillsborough, NH $350,000 2002 The town of Hillsborough owns a rare Early Gothic Revival house, The Gables, with a barn that has been put to various uses (fire station, garage, youth center, etc.) over the years. Our unfunded design would have linked these two original structures by a third to form a multi-purpose Community Services Center that would have helped to revitalize and beautify the center of town. The Gables would have been fully restored as part of the project, to enhance community pride. No funding was secured in spite of multiple attempts (James Coffey, Town Administrator, 603. 464 3877). THE PRESERVATION PARTNERSHIP WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

OLD HILLSBOROUGH FIRE STATION Hillsborough, NH Volunteer effort 2002 The Town of Hillsborough repurchased this historic former fire station while we were engaged with the last project, and we worked pro bono with the town’s firemen and historical commission to provide plans for the restoration of this landmark as a community museum. In the meanwhile, the town and volunteer effort have finished a lovely, small park between the fire station and Main Street, from which a view of the fire station and its unusual pagoda-like tower can be enjoyed. (Jane Waters, 603. 464 4031; Darin La Bier, 603. 464 3477).

FAÇADE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM Somersworth, NH $250,000 2002 In Somersworth, this was a Community Development project aimed at creating a renascent image of the town by providing a corridor of restored properties on Main Street, just before City Hall. Two facades were completed, of which one, the Nard Appliance store, won a top Main Street Award.

MENDON TOWN HALL Mendon, Massachusetts $500.000 2001 Ostensibly a grant-funded accessibility project for a small, historic town hall, this MHC-supervised project ended up achieving a complete envelope conservation, a rear elevator and washroom addition, and extensive interior restoration, including a beautiful refurbishing of the now-accessible Great Hall. (Wayne T. Darragh, project manager, 617. 542 3300x310).

SHAKER CONFERENCE CENTER, MCI Shirley, Massachusetts $1,500,000 1999 The prison campus of the Massachusetts Correctional Institute at Shirley was once an important Shaker village. We completely restored an old Church Family House to serve as a State Conference Center. This fine structure, the oldest on site, was frightfully damaged and altered when it was converted to a boys’ reformatory years ago. We have now restored it to its former simple elegance and beauty. (Tom Ostler, DCAM Construction Coordinator, 617/727-4050 ext. 558).

HENRY DAVID THOREAU BIRTHPLACE Concord, Massachusetts Feasibility Study 2001 Our firm completed a thorough study of this national landmark, the birthplace of our greatest American writer and philosopher. The house in which he was born will be meticulously conserved, and will house a variety of public and educational activities. (Marcia Rasmussen, Town Planner, 978/318-3290).

THE PRESERVATION PARTNERSHIP WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

THE PRESERVATION SOCIETY OF NEWPORT COUNTY Newport, RI Several Millions cumulatively 1978-1998 We conducted a complete physical investigation of all properties in 1983, and again in 1993. Condition reports were submitted each time for all museum mansions and buildings. Over the years, we have undertaken complete exterior conservation of the Breakers and millions of dollars of repairs and conservation at The Elms, Rosecliffe, Marble House, Kingscote and Chateau-sur-Mer. Our work has included disassembly and reconstruction of entire terraces, extensive roof and flashing conservation, and masonry repairs of every possible description. For the PSNC, we pioneered work in epoxy repair of stone and in the conservation of decorative ironwork, garden walls, exterior painted finishes and sculpture. (Curt Genga, Supervisor of Properties, 401/847-1000 ext. 115).

THE ANTIQUARIAN AND LANDMARKS SOCIETY Hartford, CT $300,000 1998 We produced an innovative Historic Structures Report (HSR) and then executed extensive conservation of the Hathaway House in Suffield, which contains some of the finest original French wallpapers in America. (Angus Murdoch, Executive Director, 203/247-8996).

AETNA LIFE AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY Hartford, CT $12,000,000 1986-88 We provided full architectural services for the exterior conservation and repair of the head office complex, the largest period-style building ever erected in America, covering seven city blocks, as well as an investigative report and recommendations for the repair of their million-square foot steel and glass tower addition. Our work, which required physical presence on site by several of our architects for two years, included full contract documents and close supervision of brick and stone conservation, stone repairs, window replacement, and acres of roofing and flashing work. Thousands of individual spalled bricks were chalked and replaced, and both limestone and sandstone decorative elements were patched or cast using new techniques. The project was one of the largest pure conservation projects ever undertaken in the United States, and was the main feature of the first issue of P/A’s technology publication, Building Renovation . (Jack Dollard, Staff Architect, 203/278-9413). THE PRESERVATION PARTNERSHIP WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

JOSIAH DENNIS MANSE Dennis, Massachusetts For the Town of Dennis, we undertook the conservation of its founder’s homestead, now a house museum. Our work included full envelope conservation, as well as sub- floor investigation and repair. (Joe Rodricks, Town Engineer, 508/760-6145).

STANTON HALL Huntington, Massachusetts Used as an annex to Town Hall, is a venerable Memorial Hall in the center of town. Our design focused on a new slate roof, miscellaneous exterior repairs, including painting, and structural repairs to the elegant tower. (James W. Gray, Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, 413/781-6045).

PLEASANT STREET SCHOOL Ayer, Massachusetts We studied both the existing Town Hall and the vacant Pleasant Street School, and completed schematic design on both town offices and community center use for each. From our work, the Board of Selectmen will determine which building will serve for which purpose. (Diane Sullivan, Town Planner, 978/772-8221).

WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE Worcester, Massachusetts We served as architects for exterior conservation of several historic buildings at the Institute, including their finest landmark, the Higgins Mansion, which needed extensive envelope repairs as well as much work on garden walls, steps, and other elements of its well-developed gardens. (John E. Miller, Director of Physical Plant, 508/831-5130).

CITY OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS Our preservation plan for downtown revitalization included the preparation of rehabilitation guidelines in a format adaptable to all historic districts in the City. We also rendered extensive public advocacy to generate and rekindle interest in downtown. (Jodi Kennedy, Worcester Planning Department, 508/799-1400).

CITY OF WATERBURY, Many years ago, we pioneered advocacy projects to stop downtown demolition in Vermont and Connecticut, and more than two decades later, we still work and lecture in this field of Preservation Planning. Our work in Waterbury comprised specific architectural projects, most notably the overall envelope restoration of the Benedict Miller House, headquarters of the University of Connecticut at Waterbury and perhaps the finest Queen Anne Revival mansion in New England. More important, scores of downtown historic structures whose demolition contracts had already been assigned by the city were reprieved. (Ann Smith, Director of Mattatuck Museum, 203/753-0381). THE PRESERVATION PARTNERSHIP WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

CITY OF NORWICH, CONNECTICUT Our years of preservation work in Norwich have included major preservation plans for the Central Business District and the nearby Jail Hill Historic District, as well as individual facade restorations and assistance in setting up grant programs. We also completely restored City Hall, a fine example of High Victorian architecture over a five-year phased plan. Our work addressed safety issues, but also fully restored the grand Council Chamber with specially created carpets, wallpapers, lighting fixtures and pressed-metal ceiling. We meticulously restored city hall’s elaborate brick, slate and wrought-iron exterior, and then its interior, now once again gleaming with varnished mahogany, intricate tile floors and rich brass. (Patricia Champagne, Chair, Norwich Heritage Trust, 860/889-5878; Stephen J. Garstka, City Engineer, 860/823- 3798).

U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE On call to the northeast regional headquarters of this Federal agency, we completed studies and conservation work at several remote lighthouses, including tall masonry towers and an antique cast iron structure. Our work included metals conservation and epoxy stone repairs. We studied historic buildings and the whole campus at the National Fish Health Laboratory in West Virginia, where we were among the first to address the historic significance of WPA projects. We were also the architects for the conservation and stabilization of the home of Secretary of State John Hay. (Paul Saulnier, Project Engineer, 413/253-8200).

EAST BRIDGEWATER SAVINGS BANK Hansen, Massachusetts Our painstaking restoration of an historic 1730 parsonage and conversion of the adjacent barn for a new branch bank is typical of our practical preservation services to business clients. This project was reviewed and approved by the State historical commission and by the Federal Advisory Council for Historic Preservation as well. (Dorothy Burns, 508/378-8400).

TOWN OF BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS Our work in Bedford spanned sixteen years, beginning with our very first project as a firm, the restoration of the old Town Hall with volunteer local labor. We then conducted training sessions for local groups and provided architectural services in the restoration of the Job Lane House, one of Bedford’s oldest landmarks, and continued by assisting in the preparation of a Historical Society video on the town’s architectural heritage. (Mary Hayfer, Beford Historical Society, 617/275-9427).

THE PRESERVATION PARTNERSHIP WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

HOLY CROSS CATHEDRAL Boston, Massachusetts We produced a pre-restoration study of the Chapel as a starting point for the restoration of this great urban cathedral. (Dennis H. Keefe, AIA, 617/482-5859).

LONG PLAINS MEETING HOUSE Acushnet, Massachusetts We provided full architectural services, including extensive supervision, for the restoration and conservation of the 1750 Friends Meeting House in Long Plains, and it was a great pleasure to see this long-neglected building reborn. While it had remained unchanged inside and out, it had deteriorated badly, and the entire floor was taken up in order to replace and repair the underlying structure. (Irwin Marks, Acushnet Historical Committee, 508/763-2488).

TOWN OF ASHBURNHAM, MASSACHUSETTS Our work began with the transformation of a lovely turn-of-the-century school into a modern public library, while retaining all of the building’s charm and character. Impressed by our work, the Town retained us to study all its buildings and make recommendations for their ultimate use. The study included sketch designs for town hall restoration and expansion, and for the transformation of the fine but inadequate and unexpandable historic library into a police station and elderly center. (Mark Rees, Town Administrator, 508/827-5548).

SERRA, JORDAN AND CARBONE, PC This was just one instance of rendering expert testimony in a case involving design review. Mr. Ferro has served as expert witness in a variety of historic preservation cases, including both design and tax issues. As special witness for the King’s Highway Historical Commission, on Cape Cod, he was instrumental in gaining an appeals decision upholding the Commission’s right to deny permission for the use of synthetic siding in an historic district. (Guy A. Carbone, Attorney, 617/227-3305).

JEFFERSON BORDEN HOUSE Fall River, Massachusetts We conducted the certified rehabilitation of this historic mansion of grim fame (“she gave her mother forty whacks…”) for use as brokerage firm offices. For the same client, we have also undertaken a dozen different projects, ranging from the restoration of a Georgian mansion in Rhode Island to the study of an historic Federal house for dismantlement and donation to the Preservation Society of Newport County. (Bernard A.G. Taradash, 508/678-7511). THE PRESERVATION PARTNERSHIP WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

HARBOR VIEW HOTEL Edgartown, Massachusetts Our complete rehabilitation of this large historic hotel was so successful that it received the Association of General Contractor’s highest award as the outstanding Massachusetts construction project of 1992. We have extensive experience with historic hotels: In Hawaii, we were the historic preservation consultants for the $55,000,000 restoration of Waikiki’s Sheraton Moana , the oldest grand hotel on the islands (1903). We prepared three conceptual resort designs for Treadway Hotels and Resorts that would have recycled a railroad yard and a former pulp and paper mill in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and restored an incredibly grand mansion on Connecticut’s rocky, wind-swept coast. For First Winthrop, besides the Harbor View, we prepared design development plans for the historic Kelly House, also on Martha’s Vineyard. (Clinton Glass, Director of Engineering, First Winthrop Corporation, 617/330-8600).

TOWN OF HALIFAX, MASSACHUSETTS We fully rehabilitated and expanded the lovely historic Town Hall on the Green, more than doubling its size and restoring the imposing Great Hall, which had been subdivided into a rabbit warren of small offices with flimsy partitions. As Halifax’s elderly would have had nowhere to meet while work at town hall progressed, we also championed the restoration of Pope’s Tavern , where John Quincy Adams held his inaugural celebration as a Congressman. Then, before the TH project started construction, we painstakingly rehabilitated it for use as a very warm and friendly Senior Center, our first of many. (John Campbell, Building Commission Chair, 617/447-3941).

MURA AND WOODS ASSOCIATES , For this imaginative and award-winning Long Island real estate developer, we provided designs and architectural services to build several grand houses in the Hamptons, using re-assembled historic structures. These included everything from a large Greek Revival church to a one-room schoolhouse saved from highway construction doom in upper New York State.

JUDITH ROSBIE Marion, Massachusetts We provided Ms. Rosbie with architectural services for the restoration of President Cleveland’s Summer White House on what was then (before the digging of the canal) Cape Cod (Judith Rosbie, Esquire, 508/748-1312). THE PRESERVATION PARTNERSHIP WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

TOWN OF MIDDLEBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS In Middleborough, whose beautiful town hall was greatly overcrowded, we first restored the historic mansion on the Green that had belonged to the man who had donated the land on which town hall now stood. As a town hall annex, the mansion was designed for Middleborough’s Gas and Electric Department, who then vacated their space in town hall. Next, we converted a historic and handsome former downtown bank office building into a second, larger annex, this time housing all financial departments of the town in a location ideal for the public. Lastly, we made handicapped accessibility modifications at Town Hall and the nearby police station, and investigated urgent town hall structural problems dating back to the 1938 hurricane (John F. Healey, Town Manager, 508/947-0928).

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS We were appointed consulting architects to the Senate President, restoring the fallen ceiling of Bulfinch’s original Senate Chamber, later converted to the Senate Reception Room. The entire ceiling and its priceless relief decoration was re-adhered in place using an acrylic-modified plaster, a ‘first’ for Massachusetts. Under governor King, we investigated the whole State House structure thoroughly, opening the way to massive repairs. Subsequently, the state appointed us as retained envelope consultants, looking at derelict state properties all over, and then to the DCPO Courthouse Unit, for whom we repaired buildings ranging from Boston’s huge Suffolk County Court House to Barnstable’s superb District Court. Other state historic buildings studied include all MDC recreational facilities in the Blue Hills and the former country estate of a governor (William Dulong, Project Manager, 617/727- 8085).

NANTUCKET HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION First, we prepared Historic Structure Reports and working binders for fourteen museums and sites, as well as an extensive development master plan. Then we provided architectural services for the conservation of multiple sites, including a great whaling era warehouse on the harbor (Michael Jehle, Curator of Collections, 508/288-1894).

WATERS FARM Sutton, Massachusetts After extensive research in the personal diaries of this farm family that made the transition to urbanization at the turn of the twentieth century, we wrote an Historic Structure Report with planning recommendations for use of the site as a working farm museum. (Ralph W. Gurney, Director, 508/865-2010).

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

THAMES SHIPYARD Groton, Connecticut For the last working historic shipyard on the northeastern seaboard, we prepared an extensive HSR and Use Plan to demonstrate how the practical needs of a contemporary shipyard can be reconciled with historical considerations. This document was commissioned and prepared directly for the State Historic Preservation Office, and led to the re-purchase of the shipyard from the federal government by its original owner, and it is now back in operation. SHPO Jack Shanahan can also attest to the quality of our considerable Connecticut work, including large preservation planning projects in Norwich, Waterbury, Meriden, Groton and New London, and such visible individual projects as the envelope conservations of the J.P. Barnum Museum and the Benedict Miller House, the State’s finest Queen Anne mansion. (Jack Shanahan, SHPO, 203/566-3116).

THE STATE DEPARTMENT Washington, D.C. We were one of five firms selected by White House Curator Dr. Conger to compete for the honor to design the Benjamin Franklin State Dining Room, where heads of state are entertained at Foggy Bottom (The State Department) Our subsequent design for this dining room, the largest of the State Reception Rooms, was very well received, but another firm narrowly prevailed.

REED HOUSE Townsend, Massachusetts Our Historic Structure Report for this historic 1789 house, left by the Reed family in a state of near suspended animation (the blinds had not been drawn in some rooms for a hundred years) authenticated perhaps the best-preserved Rufus Porter murals left anywhere in America. (Guenther K. Wehrhan, President, Townsend Historic Society, 508/597-8646).

G.A.R. HALL Taunton, Massachusetts Our certified rehabilitation of this G.A.R. Hall for medical offices was cited by Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service for the complex and trend-setting rationale of its certification issues. It led to our conservation of the G.A.R. Hall and Museum in Lynn, to our successful appeal on behalf of the G.A.R. Building in Geneva, New York, and to our painstaking restoration of the GAR building in Milford. THE PRESERVATION PARTNERSHIP WEARE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

THE LIVERY STABLE New Bedford, Massachusetts This project was a certified rehabilitation of an abandoned livery stable to law offices. We carefully maintained all significant features of historic interest while allowing functional modern use, typical of our certified rehabilitation projects. Other complex structures similarly rehabbed under NPS tax credit guidelines include a power station in Arlington and a parsonage in Hanson. (Jed Cohen, CPA, 508/997-5556).

BARRINGTON COLLEGE Barrington, Rhode Island As campus architects for this small Rhode Island college, we executed the restoration of historic Ferrin Hall, the huge and elaborate Elizabethan mansion of a former Rhode Island political boss, and a complete rehabilitation of their student center. We also designed a new central Library, Dormitory improvements, and a new Gym and Physical Education Center, but none were built as the small college struggled financially. Finally, we prepared a new master plan, just as the campus was sold. The Reverend Mr. Pope, who brought us into this project, had been familiar with our work for many years, and we restored the Fellowship Center of his First Church of Christ Congregational in Groton and designed his new rectory.

GEORGIA TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION At the GTHP, we prepared an extensive Historic Structure Report for their only historic property, the grand antebellum Hay Mansion in Macon. Greg Paxton is familiar with out work throughout that State, including the conversion of a school into a museum/community center in Thomasville, and extensive preservation planning in Augusta. (Gregory Paxton, Executive Director, 404/881-9980).

BUREAU OF HISTORIC SITES, STATE OF NEW YORK As their consultant, we prepared studies of the ruins of Fort Crown Point, the ruins of the R.R. Livingston Mansion (signer of the Declaration of Independence), and the Mills Mansion at New Hyde Park, their headquarters. On a separate assignment, we investigated 26 miles of stone walls along state highways, reporting on the relationships between their methods of construction and their physical condition. We also fully restored the first camellia greenhouse in the USA at the State Arboretum in Oyster Bay, and restored the adjacent 147-room Coe Hall (Michael F. Lynch, 518/474-0697).

HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROJECTS

CITY OF FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS We conducted a complete survey of historic resources, followed by publication of two city-sponsored books on its history and architecture, and technical leaflets for individual homeowners. This project involved a year of cooperation with city community development authorities, and led to some downtown revitalization. Other major city plans and publications were undertaken for Burlington, VT; Norfolk, Norwich, Waterbury and Meriden in Connecticut; and New Bedford and Haverhill in Massachusetts. (Paul Poulus, Director, Office of Community Development, 508/679- 0131).

UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST Keene, New Hampshire At this landmark church, we undertook a complete restoration of the Sanctuary, including a program of plaster consolidation and restoration, one of the most ambitious conservation projects of its kind in America. The techniques, pioneered by us at the Fairbanks Mansion in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, and at the Massachusetts State House, involved the injection of loose plaster ceilings and recasting of decorative elements. (Reverend Robert Hamm, Assistant Rector, 603/352-2158; Jean Farrar, 603. 352 4316/2158) This was just one of many other church projects, including stained glass restorations, structural analyses, reinforcement of towers and steeples, extensive masonry restoration projects, as well as the rehabilitation of historic and non-historic spaces, the construction of additions, and the planning of new churches to fit into historic settings.

HYDE SCHOOL Bath, Maine Our complete, detailed restoration of the sumptuous Hyde Mansion after a general alarm fire demonstrates our ability to replicate all historic finishes, fabric, ornate woodwork and plaster decoration. The Hyde project was followed by equally extensive after-fire restorations of Ammi Young’s Follett Mansion in Burlington, Vermont, and A.J. Davis’s William Rotch Cottage in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
