Built in 1890, the Frank A. Lothrop residence is a mix of Colonial Revival, Queen Anne and Victorian Eclectic
styles of Architecture.  Restoration work included repairs to the carriage house and rebuilding of the
2 level side porch.

As a result of insect and water damage, all of the Carriage house doors were removed, repaired, 
re-aligned, and re-installed.  All hinges were removed, sandblasted, repainted and installed.  Custom 
panels were made for each door to replace damaged wood.  A custom awning in a Victorian 
theme was designed and installed
