Work on the exterior of the original house began with installation of new cornice moldings and rakeboards. A new cedar shake roof was installed with pole gutters and dormers to provide light in the finished attic. All windows were replaced with new mortise and tenon, white oak timber frames fitted with reproduction sash and shutters. The original front door was hung in a new reproduction doorframe topped with a traditional hood to replicate an original feature. All exterior stonework was re-pointed with hydraulic lime mortar to match the color and style of the original pointing.
