1894 Queen Anne Porch

The restoration of the original curved porch to this 1894 Queen Anne Cottage was based on photographs the family had from the time their grandmother lived there. We installed custom-milled fretwork and a railing turned by a master woodworker. The curve of the porch required that the pieces be meticulously laid out for a perfect fit.

Knowing that [the front porch] would be the focal point of the house, we wanted only the finest artisans in all of Portland to bring the old porch back to life – this had become a labor of love!  My daughter, a landscape architect, researched several local design firms, and after meeting with Wade Freitag, decided that Craftsman Design and Renovation was clearly the one for the job.
