Emard House



I've a listing, in the West Adams Heights neighborhood. The house, a three-story Foursquare, built in 1904, has undergone an extraordinary amount of work (what would you call down to the studs and back?!). All original elements have been dutifully retained and if needed, refurbished. (See pictures above of fretwork awaiting reinstallation, and egg-and-dart detail on fireplace.) I've been consulting with the homeowner for over six months now, amidst systems work large and small. I'll continue to document the progress of the house as it nears market. Also, I'll write more about the wonderful enclave that is the West Adams Heights neighborhood.

(Update: please see post The Story of West Adams Heights.)
