Preservation Workshop at The House of the Seven Gables

We are excited to bring you the first in a series of videos taking a look into the preservation workshop here at The Gables. This month, Preservation Carpenter Brian Payne takes us through his process of determining best practices when addressing a broken door from the Retire Becket house. The Retire Becket house was built in 1655, the oldest building on our property, and was moved to its current location here at The Gables in 1924.

Check back next month to see what Brian decides to do with the door!
