In August 2003, we began repointing the 3-story front wall on the north side (street side) of the house.

In August 2005, we began work on the 05-024 grant, reconstructing the four exterior porches. The east side front porch was repaired and the west side front porch was returned to its original design before the American Legion post renovated it's appearance in the 1920s. But, first, we had to create 2 phases of the project: one phase to repoint the adjacent brick walls, and one phase to actually repair and/or reconstruct the porches.

Below are details of the repointing phase of the house.

Take a look at the MASONRY work.
