Redefining history for modern living.  Constructed in 1840 this residence remains a significant part of the downtown fabric.   The restoration of the 3-story residence revitalizes the streetscape.  An addition of a 2-story carriage house at the rear is linked to the residence by an uncovered opportunity.  This enclave provides visual respite from the tangle of the city, and introduces an aperture to nature.  The axial plan provides a series of thresholds leading the residents through a historic experience to a private oasis.  This restored residence respects the past, accommodates the now, and welcomes the future.
