THE SAMUEL R. THOMPSON HOUSE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Suffering from awkward alterations and neglect, this 1875 Second Empire single-family residence underwent careful restoration. Design Associates removed many mid- to late-20th-century modifications, including a large carport, an in-filled front entry porch, and an inappropriate color scheme. They created additions that seamlessly blended into the original construction by recreating exterior shapes and details. The interiors have been modernized with a state-of-the-art kitchen and bathrooms while carefully preserving the original interior doors, hardware, casings, and baseboards.
