1929 American Foursquare - McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania

Before Painting

This fine example of a "Box" or "Foursquare" house was lost in a bland sea of faded green colors.  Built in the late Twenties by the owners grandparents, it needed an updating that had historical roots.  A Craftsman era two color body and darker trim were suggested to provide visual impact.  Recommendations to remove the large bush in the front and to replace the concrete steps with traditional wooden ones were also accepted.

"I certainly thank you for the research and a wonderful job well done! I couldn't be happier with your services and

would recommend you to anyone who wants to glow in his neighbors envy." . . ."You have made me look brilliant!"

The rear of the house has exposed stone walls and these helped determine the tone for the body colors.
