The removal of all of the flooring, including the unrepairable hardwood, the lathe and plaster walls, the ceilings with asbestos, the electrical, plumbing and heating systems was a massive undertaking, but it exposed one of the most wonderful surprises that had been hidden away for over 100 years, cathedral ceilings were exposed and they were in pristine condition! This allowed for the vaulted ceiling in the primary suite and fully insulated and accessible attic storage space! The grand staircase was protected during the rebuild so that it could be restored to its impressive state!

As you can see this was not merely a "renovation to the studs" This was a massive undertaking that required respect for the history while rebuilding the entire home to ensure her life continues and provides protection, health and safety for another century.
