Modern Colonial Project
Tour of the McLellan House in Portland, Maine VideoBob visits the McLellan House in Portland Maine, which is part of the Portland Museum of Art. Curator Jessica Nicoll joins Vila for a tour of the Museum's $8.6 million restoration project. Highlights from the front hallway, include the reproduction wallpaper modeled after a home in Sutton, Massachusetts, the original wainscoting, and a painted oilcloth floor. Bob Cariddi joins Bob to discuss the restoration of the flying staircase, the home's architectural centerpiece. The entire staircase was dismantled and put in storage while necessary structural work was completed. It was later re-assembled with new laminated veneer lumber (LVL) supports. At the top of the staircase, the restored Palladian windows are visible. Each window was individually removed and restored. Back downstairs, Nicoll takes Bob through a front parlors. The parlor's notable features include its bright green wallpaper, detailed moldings, and a false door that was created to maintain symmetry throughout the room.
