Crafting Timeless Beauty in a Storied Italianate Residence
This striking 1868 Italianate home in downtown Saratoga Springs underwent a meticulous exterior restoration that honored its historic character while ensuring lasting durability. What started as a cosmetic refresh evolved into an expert revival involving delicate repairs and replication of ornate architectural features. Elaborate cornice mouldings and decorative brackets were carefully restored or replaced, blending original and new elements seamlessly around the entire second story.
Special attention was given to the hallmark belvedere, where extensive rot was addressed with custom-crafted jambs, sills, casings, and hand-glazed glass. Streetside, a sagging sun porch was rebuilt into a welcoming seasonal space featuring mahogany panels, tongue-and-groove decking, and bead board ceiling, complemented by copper downspouts to protect against future water damage. With a deep respect for historic detail and skilled craftsmanship, Teakwood brought new life to this 19th-century architectural masterpiece.
