Measured drawings, analysis, and construction drawings for adaptive re-use of the oldest commercial building in Fayetteville as law offices.

Project included incorporating a steel structure within the wood frame to stabilize the unusual trapezoidal, Dutch-gambrel roof, developing a crawl space ventilation system which at the same time kept wet clays from drying and cracking the foundation, concealing HVAC and ventilation equipment, and installing handicapped access to the second floor. A unique problem, since the original floor (lowered years ago) had been higher than the sidewalk, was re-proportioning the transom and door panel at the entries to conceal this fact without detracting from the historical aspects of the building.
