The Homer & Aliph Howard Home

Miss Aliph's: 1932

A record of work done in April,  2004 (click on most photos to see a larger image):

After several delays, work was again resumed on reinforcing the underpinnings of the house.  New, treated floor joists and beams were added between and beneath the original, existing members (which at one time were ships' timbers).  

That work set the stage for the construction of new brick piers.  Specially ordered, antique style bricks are being used to recreate the original appearance of the house.
