Connecticut Captains Cottage
A full-scale historic renovation, architectural restoration, and furnishings project. Originally built in 1834, this harbor-front colonial. The design details were restored, from the wide-plank floors to the traditional sash windows, while new layers of craftsmanship brought warmth and polish to every surface.
