Mathew Cummings, (left), lead archiect of Cummings Architects, LLC, and James Whidden (right), a skilled "woodwright" (joiner and timber framer), have created a program to teach old house owners (or those who want to be) about the best practices in old house restoration.
They will present their program Restoring Your Old House: How to Do it the Right Way at historical societies and museums throughout the North Shore. Learn more about the program, and about Mat and Jim.
Recent audience comments:
"Restoring these homes to their former glory of simplicity is an
incredible undertaking. It is nice to see such passion and the
obvious love you have of your work."
"A most enjoyable presentation, filled with information, by two people who love and respect what they do."
