Refurbished Greek Revival

By Simmonsquality, member

The homeowners of this shore home desired a whole house renovation to add authentic exterior details to their 1900 Greek Revival home.  The work included: new windows; pre-painted cedar siding; crown mouldings; balustrade atop the flat roof; front portico featuring ionic columns and dentil mouldings.  The renovation also included fluted pilasters on all corners of the house.
