Discription


The Petty Home, a turn-of-the-century Queen Anne, is being fully restored by Miles Honeycutt. Miles is the same general contracter who oversaw restoration of the Clapp-Ferguson home and Winston's Broken House, both in the Cleveland-Holloway neighborhood. Miles is restoring the home in keeping with historic elements of the original house to a single family dwelling. Check back often and watch this great home come back to life.

Winston shown stirring plaster of Paris. Last night, Winston and his father made a silicone mold of two of the plinth blocks that were recovered from the Petty Home. The interior casings of each window and exterior door will require two plinth blocks each. Each interior door or cased opening will require four plinth blocks each. As long as Miles buys the plaster, Winston has agreed to make as many as is required for "four thousand dollars." When asked for a better rate, Winston indicated that he would do them for "about ten dollars." If I were Miles, I would ask for the last bid in writing.
