Tara Maloney and I designed the renovations to this house on Spring Street in Charlottetown back a few years ago - back when drawings were prepared by hand. These are my hand drawings in pen and ink.

Below: We worked with local businessman and developer Kimball Darte on restoring the green house. When he bought it the house had just been lifted and had a new roof, nothing else had been done. We worked to restore it features and added a few features to enhance it, including an attic window, stained glass window by the stairs, patterned shingles and new verandah railing. Tara prepared two colour schemes - green tones scheme and a salmon-pink scheme. The owner chose the green scheme and then gave the other scheme to his neighbour the left if him. They nicely compliment each other. Mr. Darte passed away a few years ago - he's surely missed in the heritage restoration community - he was always giving life to old delapitated buildings.
