Past Projects
The family room’s player piano sat for decades, inoperable. After a significant overhaul, the Barnes is once again filled with the soft sounds of music from this technological wonder. This piano is a must see (and hear) during tours!
The white stone paths at the Barnes are a century-old feature of the property, and are now adorned with fresh, sturdy rose arbors up which flowers may climb. Please treat the grounds like a micro-park, come anytime and enjoy!
There are numerous pictures of the the Barnes family enjoying their garden. We fundraise to maintain the garden’s original features, improve usability for present needs, and to revive long-lost attributes relegated to history.
