Scope
JHPA was retained by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to oversee and design the exterior restoration of the main house at Olana - the historic family home of famed Hudson River School landscape painter Frederic Edwin Church that is, today, a National and State Historic landmark with a house museum and a public park.
Repoint and repair Olana’s elaborate brick masonry and restore its exterior woodwork. To conserve as much original fabric as possible, the firm completed a hands-on condition survey of each individual brick on the building and all of its woodwork features.
