The stunning Eustis Estate in Milton, MA is a spectacular English Queen Anne style mansion a short distance outside Boston.
Designed by architect William Ralph Emerson and completed in 1879, the house was a showcase of Aesthetic Movement interiors when built. Although not well known today, Emerson was a masterful architect at the cutting edge of the field in the 1870s and 80s. A year after the Eustis mansion, he designed Redwood, considered the first Shingle Style cottage.
Sutherland Conservation & Consulting, the firm I worked for, was brought in after the property was acquired by Historic New England to do microscopic paint analysis to determine what the original interior finishes had been. Working on this project has been a highlight of my career.
The paint analysis process is described in “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners” with before and after photos.
The award-winning and bestselling 720-page hardcover book available in bookstores and from online retailers.
