Accessible Home Project


Building the Railing System (HA0906)


Bob helps Ryley and George build the railing system of pressure-treated lumber and integrate it with the front porch columns. Next, he takes a tour of some of the grand old houses still left from Roxbury's heyday at the turn of the century. After a period of serious urban blight, this once-grand Boston community is making a dramatic comeback. Then it's back to the site, where some of the units have already been plastered, and Joan Gonçalves dresses up the windows with custom sills.
