The two-and-a-half hour event included a guided tour of the garden landscaping and lily pond, the pergola and garage additions, the first floor and restored veranda, and the basement including interpretive displays. As the tour progressed through the house, guests were treated to the history of each space and a brief synopsis of the difficulties that were faced during the renovation process. While not on the tour, guests were treated to refreshments in the garden courtyard.
We are grateful to the owners, Jane Parker and Fran Consentino for their graciousness in opening up their home and for their continued dedication and support for preservation projects throughout the region. We are also grateful for architectural historian Jean France, landscape architect Mark Bayer, and research coordinator from the Landmark Society Cynthia Howk, for their contributions in hosting this event.
