Rebuilding Rome (Or Just A Wall)

July 2022

11,000 bricks have arrived on site, and thus begins the careful deconstruction of the west wall of the west wing at the Brice House. This reconstruction will correct issues the previously-constructed wall had when it was installed (see “The Best Laid Plans”) and ensure that the west wing wall will sufficiently support the roof. The silver lining of this reconstruction is that we are able to now present the original historic layout of the carriage house’s west wall accurately – this wall had a carriage house door and one additional door – and no windows.
