HISTORICAL RESTORATION 

Restoring History: A Journey Back in Time
Welcome to our historic restoration project, where we embarked on a remarkable journey to breathe new life into a colonial federal-era home nestled in the heart of Albany's downtown area. This project was not just about renovating a house; it was about preserving a piece of history for generations to come.
A Home Steeped in History
Our story begins with a majestic colonial federal-era home, a true gem that had witnessed centuries of Albany's rich history. However, time had taken its toll, and the house had undergone a significant renovation in the 1980s, which didn't align with its historical roots. To restore this home accurately and with the respect it deserved, we knew we had to turn back the clock.
Returning to Historical Precision
The first step in our journey was to carefully demolish the 1980s renovation that had altered the front of this magnificent home. As each layer was peeled away, we uncovered the original charm and character that had been hidden for decades. It was like stepping back in time, and every detail mattered to us.
Preserving the Legacy Below the Surface
But our commitment to historical accuracy didn't stop at the surface. We recognized the importance of preserving the home's integrity from the ground up. That's why we embarked on the ambitious task of re-working the entire subterranean drainage system. Ensuring that our stone work would stand the test of time required a solid foundation, both figuratively and literally.
Removing the Weight of the Past
Before we could begin the process of restoring this historical treasure, we had to remove the remnants of the 1980s renovation. A staggering 23,000 pounds of waste and materials were painstakingly removed. It was a heavy burden lifted from the past, allowing us to start with a clean slate.
A Home Reborn
As we worked tirelessly on this project, our dedication to preserving the historical authenticity of this colonial federal-era home never wavered. Every stone laid, every detail restored, was done with the utmost care and precision. Our goal was not just to renovate; it was to breathe new life into this historic gem, ensuring that it would shine for generations to come.
