Construction tour of a 1911 Capitol Hill home undergoing an extensive modernization and restoration. The house was designed by noted architect Clement A. Didden and was previously used as a boardinghouse and a rectory over it’s lifetime. The tour will be led by the architect and builder on the project, Colleen Healey, AIA and John Allen of Allen Built, Inc. The tour will focus on approaches to working with historic homes including casing detailing & preserving, creative solutions to modernizing a classical floor plan, working around existing infrastructure and upgrading the energy efficiency (including AeroSeal technology) within a historic context. The project is in final stages of construction.
