Phase II of the restoration accomplished the remainder of the necessary structural stabilization and the restoration of the windows and stucco on the front of the house.

As is evident from the curvature in this sagging beam above the windows in the South wall of Mr. Westcott’s bedroom on the second floor, the structure of the house had been compromised. Once the existing issues behind the walls had been assessed, there was no question: reinforcement of the bones of the building would be necessary in some areas. Stabilization of both the south wall of the house and the west wall of the garage was to be the next most crucial step in the restoration.
