PA Historic Stone Home

Built in 1741, this central Pennsylvania stone home now has timber framing throughout the original house, a new great room with king post trusses, and a hemlock porch wrapping more than 100 feet around the exterior. We used planed Eastern white pine inside and rough-cut local hemlock outside, tying the new work to the character of the old stone house.

The porch at dusk: hemlock posts and rafters, lanterns lit, chairs against the stone wall, a cornfield beyond

Down the porch toward the red barn, lanterns and hanging flowers under the hemlock rafters

The kitchen: a timber post and braced beam framing the old stone wall, pendants over a live-edge counter

The bar room: pine posts, beams and braces inside the stone walls, a fire lit at the hearth
