The scope of the project includes restoring damaged limestone on the first four floors, replacement and repair of over 400 decorative terra cotta stones, and resealing the joints of all copper mansard roofs. It is a land of Gothic spires, mansard roofs, wide lazy verandas, and Victorian gingerbread spread upon a slice of windswept dunes, towering bluffs and clover-green rolling moors dotted with hundreds of fresh water ponds and two thousand miles of low stone fences. By the time art writers got hip to architecture, they realized that their confreres across "the divide" were in the midst of a turf war over whether postmodernism even existed and, if so, whether it necessarily entailed the nostalgic (and often embarrassing) practice of mismatching Mansard roofs with Palladian windows. |
