Speaker Series - "A House Restored"

  • Wellfleet Public Library 55 W Main St Wellfleet, MA 02667 USA (map)

“A House Restored - The Tragedies and Triumphs of Saving a New England Colonial”

Lee McColgan provides insight into what it takes to restore historical structures. After working on Boston’s Old North Church and Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House, he embarked upon a personal project to restore the Loring House of Pembroke as a family home. The intersection of history, architecture, and unforseen challenges provides not only an interesting story but a cautionary tale.

See the Lee’s write up in the New York Times "This Old, Old House: Would You Buy a 1702 Fixer-Upper?"
