Restoration history: The house
is composed out of two parts: the single storey part built in 1904 and
the
double storey section built in 1982. The single storey main house was
restored
in 2005. It was tried to preserve as much as possible of this heritage.
Most of
the doors and windows are still original. Multiple layers of paint had
to be
removed to make the Oregon pine visible. The wooden floors in the
kitchen and
the bar unfortunately had to be replaced for hygienic reasons. Most
plinths
could stay after the paint was removed. The ceilings of corridor,
lounge and
office are original. The lounge was certainly during about 80 years (1904 –
1982) the central
room of the house. It was the only room with two windows, a pressed
metal
ceiling and an open fireplace. These three elements are still present
in the
original state. So when you are sitting in this room you can dream
about the
people who have sat here in long past days. |
