The Southern Heritage's award winning project at
211 W. Warren Ave.in Longwood Florida
consisted of
a total re-construction of the porches, the entire third floor and roof system. We matched the existing heart
pine floors, trim and casework. Most of the doors and
windows were restored. The staircase to the third floor
is truly an artful reproduction of the main staircase...
a must see for everyone!
The walls were straightened
with bracing, and even planing
the 125 year old pine
studs. Structural sheathing was then
installed. Icynene
foam insulation was used under the roof
deck and in
the gable ends to further increase energy efficiency.
All of the post and beam construction at the porches
is custom fitted and bolted together with a concealed
fastening system. All our millwork details provide
a masterful reproduction!
Detailing was designed by Mike Smith to render an
exact
replica of the original structure built by
Josiah Clouser
in 1885. The home served as a
birthing center, a general store
and now as an
office for a
premier engineering firm.
