After previous additions and layers of alterations were removed from this stately home, work consisted of reconfiguring the interior layout to improve circulation and adjacencies for modern living.
Foundation and structural framing were reinforced, electrical and mechanical systems were upgraded for energy efficiency, bathrooms were added, and building skin fortified against pesky rodents.
