Mansard Monday ~ Spectacular Second Empire mansion in Newburgh, NY. I took this photo last year, shortly after the house was sold. I hope work is now underway to restore it.
This house has all the bells and whistles of the Second Empire style, including a brownstone bay window and carved trim on the brick exterior, a patterned slate Mansard roof, and a belvedere on top – all overlooking the Hudson River in a beautiful historic district. I hope it will get the quality restoration it needs. Check out additional photos and interiors here: https://www.oldhousedreams.com/2021/07/16/second-empire-in-newburgh-ny/
Every step of the process to restore a house is covered in “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.” From assessing the house to understanding its character-defining features and restoration needs and designing a restoration that prioritizes preserving key features while making it livable in the 21st century. Twenty chapters include detailed information on structural and mechanical systems, exteriors, interiors, tools, and resources.
Signed and personalized copies of the award-winning and bestselling 720-page hardcover book are available directly from the author at YourHistoricHouse.com/shop/ and through the shop on this page.
