Middletown, CT - Historic Cedar Restoration
Closeup of the ridge cap and chimney on this historic restoration of a wood roof on this 17th-century Elizabethan-style residence in Middletown, CT. Built in 1686 by Daniel Harris for his son Samuel, this house was renovated in early 1700 to add the shed section in back, providing the illusion of a traditional Saltbox house. We specified and installed Western Red cedar from Anbrook Industries, British Columbia.
