Spring St. Garage Exterior
Historic houses are not the only things that deserve exterior restoration as shown here in a 'before' photo of our Spring St. garage exterior restoration project. This circa 1920 garage was in a serious state of deterioration.
|
With framing repairs completed and the garage stabilized, it's time to make this circa 1920 building look pretty.
|
The completed project. Once a home to raccoons, this restored circa 1920 garage is now a gem. And to think there were some who thought it
should have been torn down - that would have been such a waste!
