Remodeled Farmhouses

A practical, illustrated survey of renovating traditional farmhouses that presents a series of individual remodels and before-and-after views, combining descriptive case studies with guidance on preserving original woodwork, reconfiguring interiors, and integrating modern conveniences while retaining historic character. It examines common structural types and materials, discusses challenges such as hidden additions and altered rooflines, and highlights decorative details salvageable for reuse. Photographs and room descriptions accompany each project to show porch treatments, stairways, fireplaces, and plan adaptations, offering inspiration and pragmatic advice for owners and architects contemplating farmhouse restoration.
