That\u2019s not the setup for a joke, but rather a real-life puzzle-one that restoration expert and preservation consultant Charles Glasner was brought in to solve. Homeowner Victoria St. John Gilligan knew Glasner was up to the challenge: this would be the fourth project they\u2019d worked on together in the past 20 years.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/restored-room_vsj4990_ver6508_gn.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/restored-room_vsj4990_ver6508_gn.jpg\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This room was once two porches \u201cwith ugly sliding doors,\u201c with beams broken and patched.

Geoffrey Gross<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What exactly were they facing? \u201cParts and pieces\u201c of a pre-1760 house had been reused in a house built ca. 1946. Ancient floorboards, window and door casings, ceiling beams, and fireplaces jostled with such 1940s-period details as V-groove paneling. The 1970s addition had added space but little in the way of style. Various \u201cimprovements\u201c over the years contributed to the jumble.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/candle_vsj5529-2_gn.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/candle_vsj5529-2_gn.jpg\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Queen Anne tea table of tiger maple is equipped with candle slides.

Geoffrey Gross<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The hand-hewn beams are a case in point. By this period (ca. 1750), most often the beams would have been dressed, adze-smoothed and with a bead added to edges. Glasner believes that when the beams were repurposed, the dressing was removed: \u201cI found that interesting, and very telling.\u201c In the same way that a single puzzle piece can bring the whole picture into focus, the beams revealed the original owner\u2019s intentions. \u201cThis was to be a Colonial Revival house, so they took off the dressing\u201c in a bid to create a more primitive \u201cearly\u201c interior.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/highboy_vsj5579b_gn.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/highboy_vsj5579b_gn.jpg\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Imari charger hanging above the highboy is another heirloom piece. The highboy itself is a Connecticut antique. Geoffrey Gross<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Before he could unite the truly Colonial with the Colonial Revival, Glasner had to do some editing. Sliding glass doors-\u201creal 1950s abominations\u201c-were replaced with Marvin true divided-light windows that match existing windows. Twentieth-century wall-to-wall carpeting was removed. Where original floorboards were missing, Glasner commissioned new pine boards 12\u00b3 wide, finished and colored to match the old.<\/p>\n<p>Some hardware had survived from the old house. Glasner replaced the rest with reproduction iron hardware, correct down to the last detail, including nails.<\/p>\n<p>The imposing <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/blog\/interiors-and-decor\/history-of-the-fireplace\/index.html\">fireplace<\/a> in the main keeping room had been clad in that 1940s V-groove paneling. \u201cThey\u2019d kept the huge cooking fireplace with its slate hearth,\u201c Glasner says. He had the V-groove removed and replaced withGeorgian paneling. \u201cDoors, mouldings, all the reproduction woodwork was built in the same vernacular as would have been in the 18th-century Hudson Valley.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Glasner takes the same holistic approach to interior design. He blends period antiques and reproductions, document fabrics along with their adaptations. \u201cNobody lives in a stitch of time,\u201c he explains. \u201cAs long as things look appropriate next to each other, it works.\u201c Victoria St. John Gilligan\u2019s previous home was a late-18th-century stone house. Her rugs, furnishings, and palette all worked beautifully here. \u201cWe had to have only two pieces of furniture re-done,\u201c Glasner says. Everything else was arranged and re-arranged to fit in the space.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fireplace_port1__vsj5088-panob_gn.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/fireplace_port1__vsj5088-panob_gn.jpg\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The fireplace that dominates the main keeping room had been clad in 1940s V-groove paneling, since replaced by handsome period paneling and trim. Part of the owner\u2019s collection, the period portrait seen through the doorway into the study was done of a local woman named Mrs. Elmendorf. Geoffrey Gross<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The exterior presented a different challenge. The 1970s addition, a garage with bedrooms above, had created a rambling structure 140\u00b2 long. Glasner was determined to unify the building. \u201cI took elements including chimneys, shutters, doors, even the painted finish on the brick, and approached the renovation in a very homogeneous, very consistent way so that the house became timeless.\u201c He used a common paint palette of <a href=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/blog\/repairs-and-how-to\/work-wonder-color-home-1940\/index.html\">colonial colors<\/a>-while noting that he dislikes the decorator\u2019s term \u201ccolonial\u201c because it is used so indiscriminately.<\/p>\n<p>Bluestone manufacture is a big industry locally, and this house has both stone and brick walls. The windowsills and most of the masonry structure are made of cut stone. The house is set on a hill; retaining walls and stairs were built from local stone, too. There had been no way to get to the back of the property, so Glasner had patios and walkways built of brick and stone in a style reminiscent of the 18th century.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bed_port1__vsj5426-2-br_pano2a_gn.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/todayshomeowner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/bed_port1__vsj5426-2-br_pano2a_gn.jpg\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The pencil-post bed with a flat-top canopy is by Eldred Wheeler.

Building dropped drastically, due not just to the wartime shortage of materials but also of manpower. The government allowed repairs and improvements, but strict limits were placed on new construction.<\/li>\n<li>When the war ended in September 1945, the return to normal was not immediate. A housing shortage had already existed due to the Great Depression of the 1930s, made worse by wartime. Veterans returned, the marriage rate skyrocketed, and consumers were demanding bigger houses to accommodate families. Salvaging the colonial-era house was a necessity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Visit an 18th-century Connecticut home:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/oldhouseonline.com\/articles\/a-classic-18th-century-home\">oldhouseonline.com\/articles\/a-classic-18th-century-home<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This content was originally published on OldHouseOnline.com and has been republished here as part of a merger between our two businesses.
