In this issue, we explore the art of transformation—from reviving a Portland landmark home, to restoring a historic covered bridge, to capturing big personality in a small kitchen.
Our lead story, Classical “Revived”, follows the top-to-bottom restoration and modernization of a historic Portland mansion, achieved in close collaboration with its hands-on homeowner. In This Day in History, we revisit the Gallon House covered bridge restoration, where Arciform’s craftsmen used historically accurate materials and methods to replace the entire roof structure. The Arcifiles spotlights Luke Brody of Eastbank Appliances, whose expertise has been integral to our kitchen projects. We close with a Project Showcase featuring a 1915 kitchen that proves you can achieve maximum style, even in the smallest spaces and on a modest budget.
