About
THE MODERN, 20TH CENTURY FLOORING IN THE GRAND SALON AND THE GRAND STAIRCASE HALL (APPROX. 2,400 SQ. FEET) WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH HISTORICALLY ACCURATE RANDOM WIDTH WOOD FLOORING LEAVING THE ORIGINAL FLOOR PRESERVED UNDERNEATH. THE FLOORING IN THE GRAND SALON WAS THEN FAUX PAINTED TO REPLICATE THE MARBELIZED TREATMENT THAT EXISTED HISTORICALLY. SECTIONS OF THE ORIGINAL FLOORING WERE LEFT EXPOSED WITH CUSTOM CUT SECTIONS OF PLEXI-GLASS IN PLACE TO ALLOW FOR VIEWING. THE MODERN FLOORING IN THE GRAND STAIRCASE HALL WAS REMOVED AND THE EARLY FLOORING WAS COVERED WITH A REPLICATED FLOOR CLOTH THAT MATCHES 19TH CENTURY CLOTH REMANTS FOUND IN THIS SPACE.REPLICATING HISTORIC FINISHES THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE IS A MAJOR STEP IN THE ONGOING RESTORATION. DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR THE PAINT ON THE HISTORIC CORNICE WHICH ENCIRCLES THE GRAND SALON WAS ANALYZED TO DETERMINE THE COLORS WHICH WERE PAINTED THERE AND AT WHAT PERIOD. AFTER CAREFUL STUDY THE PAINT TREATMENT FOUND TO HAVE EXISTED IN 1867 WAS APPLIED TO THE CORNICE. HISTORIC FINISHES ON THE GRAND STAIRCASE WERE RETURNED - ALONG WITH SOME STRUCTURAL WORK TO THE STAIR. ADDITIONALLY THE APPLICATION OF FAUX GRAINING AND MARBLEIZING CONTINUED ON THE WOODWORK AND WALLS OF THE GRAND SALON. AN ONGOING RESTORATION PROJECT HAS BEEN THE RETURN OF THE SMALL STUDY TO ITS MID-19TH CENTURY APPEARANCE. THIS ROOM HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY A COUPLE WHO HAVE DONATED MONEY FOR OVER THE YEARS. THIS PAST YEAR A PERIOD APPROPRIATE CARPET PATTERN WAS SELECTED, ORDERED AND PRODUCED.
