A
Frances
Willard
house
is
one
of
three
national
historic
landmarks.
In
the
city
of
Evanston,
there
was
extensive
plaster
damage
and
water
damage
in
the
house
we
had
to
do
extensive
research,
historic
research.
We
hope
that
the
restoration
helps
tell
Willard's
story
to
be
in
the
house
as
it
looked
when
she
lived
there.
It
really
helps
to
enhance
the
narrative
of
this
woman,
who
was
a
social
reformer
and
a
very
important
woman's
advocate
at
the
end
of
the
1800s.
B
Our
project
was
totally
remake,
it
totally
remake
it
inside
it
was
a
gut
renovation.
You
might
call
it
where
we
stripped
out
everything
from
the
inside
of
the
masonry
out
and
rebuilt
it
to
contemporary
standards.
We
re
conditioned
all
the
exterior
with
new
windows,
we've
cleaned
and
repointed
all
of
the
masonry
and
totally
renovated
the
exterior
of
the
building
and
there's
been
reconditioned
to
be
a
much
more
pleasing
and
useful
facility
than
it
was
originally
constructed
to
be.
C
The
1920s
edition
didn't
really
have
anything
to
do
with
the
house
and
so
we've
kind
of
camouflaged
it
in
a
way
by
using
a
porch
which
repeats
the
the
detailing
of
the
front
of
the
house
and
wraps
it
around
to
the
back.
But
one
of
the
things
that
they
loved
about
the
house
was
the
front
porch,
and
so
we
we
extended
the
porch
around
the
side
of
the
house.
C
D
E
We
began
this
process
by
expanding
the
garden
with
Barker,
Evans,
landscape,
architects.
We
created
a
fire
pit.
We
created
a
new
dining
Terrace,
a
terrace
stare
off
the
back
of
the
house
where
family
and
friends
could
gather
to
watch
kids
play
in
the
backyard,
celebrate
the
the
changing
of
the
seasons
and
enjoy
some
company.
F
We
were
so
pleased
to
work
on
the
restoration
of
the
exterior,
which
involved
all
of
the
limestone,
the
slate
roof
with
some
structural
repairs
and
that
beautiful,
cast-iron
walkway
around
the
observatory
itself.
Additionally,
all
the
windows
and
the
art
glass
were
restored,
and
it
was
just
a
wonderful
team
and
effort
to
to
bring
a
gem
on
the
campus
back
for
up
for
us
all,
because
it
is
it's
open
to
the
public.
Every
Friday
so
come
come
visit.
C
The
house
is
a
1950s
mid-century,
modern,
two-story
home,
so
the
windows
on
the
house
when
we
found
them
were
semi-historical.
They
were
arched
but
oddly
shaped,
but
really
didn't
fit
the
house,
and
so
fortunately,
the
owners,
Gail
and
Rob
had
the
original
drawings,
the
original
architects
sue.
We
have
a
huge
benefit
of
designing
the
elevation
to
really
reflect
the
original
architects
eye
intentions.
