Gebhart Mansion

The Gebhardt mansion was built in 1884.  In the summer of 1989 I led a crew of theater technicians in restoring the mansion's exterior wood work. This included replicating and replacing damaged elements, rebuilding the back porch, and painting all wooden trim.

Front Porch

The front porch of the house had some damage but most of the work centered on removing a century of paint layers.

Back Porch

The back porch of the mansion was sagging and had become structurally unsound.  The roof and columns were salvageable but everything else had to be rebuilt form the ground up.
