Home Again

Federal-Style Home Project


Building the Portico and Restoring the Fireplaces (HA0507)


The new portico is under construction on the front facade of the house; next door, Bob takes a peek into the elegantly appointed Guillard-Bennett House, one of the jewels in Charleston's crown. Back at our house, Richard Marks puts the finishing touches on the restoration of the house's fireplaces: see how a marble surround is made, and a mantel is added in the library.
