This extensive project involved every type of restoration and replication skills.
Part of the mission involved the rescue and removal of a Shaker work building from the original Shaker site in Colonie, New York, and it’s museum quality restoration in Old Chatham, New York. This involved not only timber frame restoration, but replication of siding, cupola, and a magnificent stone ramp.
Adjoining this structure, we designed and fabricated a sixteen thousand square foot, state-of-the-art sheep milking dairy using as a guide 1930’s HABS drawings of a now destroyed Shaker barn adjacent to the one we removed.
The third part of this project was the conversion of a gracious Colonial Revival residence to an inn with professional kitchen, dining room, and 18th century type tap room.
