This 111-year-old duplex had been buried under years of neglect. Previous “repairs” left it with particle board, cheap tile, and drop ceilings that reduced the rooms to just 8 feet high. Once we began restoration, we uncovered its true character—solid heart pine construction, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and a corrected layout that allowed the home to breathe again. Breathing life back into this historic piece of architecture was a true delight, and the transformation was nothing short of stunning.
