The Eustis Mansion is a spectacular Queen Anne style mansion in Milton, MA you can visit! Designed by architect William Ralph Emerson and completed in 1879, the house was a showcase of Aesthetic Movement interiors when built. By the 1970’s, much of the original gilding had tarnished to a dull brown/green and the once exceptional painted wall treatments were covered over with pastel latex paints. Our firm was brought in to do microscopic paint analysis to determine what the original finishes has been after the property was acquired by Historic New England.
The paint analysis process is described in Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners with before and after photos from the Eustis mansion. The book is available in stores nationwide and through online retailers. Signed copies can be ordered directly from the author at YourHistoricHouse.com.
Ask your local bookstore to contact their W.W. Norton rep to order copies.
