Old House Restoration: How to Do it the Right Way
Sunday, March 30, 2008 2-3 p.m.
Members: free; Nonmembers: free with Museum admission
Join North Shore-based architect Mathew Cummings and woodwright James Whidden as they take you on a virtual tour of colonial homes they have restored in Ipswich, and learn from the experts how to “do” restoration the right way. Mat and Jim will discuss how to assess the scope of a restoration project (including what elements can be saved), how and why to document a house’s architectural history, space use options, repair details (including the choice of materials), and the drawing and construction process. A question-and-answer period will follow.
