About the Project

Built in 1921, this Georgian-style home in Dilworth has seen many interior renovations over the decades, but its historic exterior was badly deteriorated. The new owners updated the home’s interior for modern living while restoring its historic charm, including repairing the brick façade and slate roof and carefully restoring all of the original windows. Sensitive additions were made to the back of the house in order to maintain the historical integrity of the neighborhood, as the house is listed as a contributing structure to the historic Dilworth neighborhood in the National Register of Historic Places.
