A Woodwork Workshop
September 2020
Lewis Contractors is working to refinish and prep all of the woodwork trim to reinstall throughout the Brice House. They’ve taken over the old kitchen in the east wing for this work – and it’s quite the historic setting!
East Wing Demolition
August 2020
Lewis Contractors began demolition in the east wing of the Brice House, previously housing the Historic Annapolis administrative offices. This demo will remove all modern materials and finishes, like the modern bathroom, non-original staircases, and help with investigations of both the kitchen and laundry area downstairs as well as what we believe may have been enslaved living quarters upstairs.
Plasterwork
April 2020
Plasterwork restoration is continuing in the dining room, and restoration specialists Chris, Brad, and Kelsey have uncovered some amazing original detail as they very, very carefully remove the layers of old paint on the cornice.
If you missed our blog post about the incredible, detailed work they are doing, read it here.
Historic Annapolis is immensely grateful for the generosity of Jim and Sylvia Earl, who have provided financial support for the plasterwork restoration. Photo courtesy of Chris Mills.
