Description:
Built in 1860. thee house has one and a half baths, and remains the single family home feel and look that it had since it was built. The wide plank heart pine floors are original throughout the main house. The house interior will remain unchanged on the inside with the property being a venue for parties, weddings, etc.
Construction Cost:
Summary:
We are restoring the first floor railings to match the turn of the century railings that we discovered in a picture from the early 1900's. The cost of that is $10,000. The cost of the ADA ramp into the house will be $21,000. The other cost would be converting the carriage house into ADA bathrooms, but nothing
*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.
The LeSesne Friend house is an 1860 structure that fortunately has remained virtually untouched on the interior renovation-wise since the time it was built. The installation of an elevator would dessimate the interior of the structure
