August 2005: Going Down Memory Lane

August 1, 2005: This is my first experience with having a brownstone stripped. The job was started on August 1, 2005 and ended on December 9, 2006.

My neighbor and I received pretty large grants from NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission to strip our houses.

It looks as it did in 1899, when the house was built.

Caption: The house was painted in the 1980's.

Its been restored to look as it did in 1899.
