This 1890 Queen Anne is part of the Broadway Ave. revitalization ongoing in Providence. The project was partially supported by the Providence Preservation Society's Revolving Fund, where they provided the specs and supervision for the project. The intent was to reintroduce the design elements removed from the exterior during a previous remuddling project of applied shingles over the original exterior fabric. HRI rebuilt an entire belt course, balustrades and porch, repaired and replaced shingles and clapboards, restored some sash and basically prepared the building for a new paint job.

Lexington English Timber Frame Repairs
