Lang Hill House
HISTORICAL LEGACY
Lang Hill is a circa 1860 farmhouse near the New York – Vermont border in Washington County, New York. At the time the client approached MCWB in 2011, the existing house had suffered from years of neglect, however, original features such as the sunburst tympanum, original interior staircase with faux wood graining, wood trim and paneling, and the structure were in sound condition.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
MCWB was commissioned to restore and update the historic farmhouse, install all new building systems, and to add additions to accommodate modern living conveniences.
REALIZATION
The restoration process included the selective replacement of cornices, windowsills and arches. Decorative band courses were replaced and fabricated from new St. Matieu sandstone. The sandstone was sourced from a quarry located in Quebec, Canada and provided superior durability and longevity compared to the original stone material.
