Arrowhead (Herman Melville House)
The Herman Melville House was built in the 1780’s and purchased by Herman Melville in 1850. In the early 1900’s, the front porch was removed. Along with carpenter Peter Hamm, the porch was recreated to match the building. The construction is primarily mortise and tenon, and the door is made from heartwood of Longleaf Pine.
Enfield Shaker Village
These windows were made as part of a restoration of the Enfield Shaker Village workshop building. The original windows and doors where unfortunately thrown away in the 1930’s, but much could be replicated from other existing work.
Gore Place Mansion
This staircase was replaced as the previous one had been removed at some point in the past. In order to maintain the accuracy and the vision of the original workers, the drawings to create these were based upon another original, adjacent staircase. To make all the parts, 22 existing molding profiles were matched. The construction used was primarily mortise and tenon.
