Restoration of H. B. Williams Residence


Sarasota County, Florida


The Sensitive Restoration of a Fine Indigenous Building


 This project involved the res-
toration of a doctor's office and
residence to be used as an archi-
tect's office and residence. The
building had clay tile masonry
bearing walls and roof with Port- '
land cement plaster inside and
out. During the restoration, ori-
ginal plaster textures were _i-
matched. Colors were deter- '
mined by scraping down to the :
original finish. 1


 "This restoration was done
with great care and sensitivity,
giving new life to the building."
