Our historic preservation projects don't just focus on the buildings themselves. Often, we restore the fixtures and fittings that go along with them. In this case, we're collaborating with Warren Holzman and the talented team at on the restoration of a house full of fixtures designed by the noted metalworker, Samuel Yellin. Inappropriate finishes and alterations are being stripped away, and the fixtures are being restored to their original appearance, while sensitively integrating updated lighting technologies. Missing mica and glass will be replaced and the restored fixtures will be reinstalled in their original locations.

In celebration of the holiday season, our team visited Longwood Gardens, where we toured some of our recent projects, followed by a 6-course dinner at the wonderful restaurant, 1906. We’ve been blessed to have worked on a variety of projects at Longwood for nearly 15 years, beginning with the restoration of the Webb Farmhouse in the Meadow Garden, followed by projects at the Peirce duPont House, the East and West Conservatories, the Silver Garden, Cox House, Orchid House, Cascade Gardens, and the Estate Houses. Principal and Technical Director Joshua Kiehl led many of these projects, and he guided the group tour. We end the year feeling fortunate for special projects like these, as well as the collaborators and clients who make them happen. Wishing Seasons Greetings to all our friends and followers!
