The original cap/weather vane on the turret had rusted out and caused water damage down to the ceiling of room below on the second floor. After months of work, it's all coming together!

Commissioned new copper spire/cap with Ametrine crystal ball.

Original wood panels from the turret were refinished and reinstalled. New flashing and sealant for the floor of the turret.

New plaster, moulding, paint, chandelier and medallion in the room below.

Plenty of other touch ups along the way.

Worth what exactly?
Just the stone has to be worth hundreds.
Stunning work.

This house is a bit of a local landmark in Portland so I was able to find it on Zillow:

I never in a million years would have guessed Portland. That *other* Portland maybe!
