We are currently beginning work on an addition and remodel to one of the oldest structures in middle Tennessee. The oldest section was built in 1799 and is to the left in this photo. It is a log structure. The block to the right is a post and beam timber structure added in the early 1800's. The "ell" behind the oldest piece was also added in the 1800's.
Several porch additions to the back of the house have been added over the years, and then enclosed as living patterns changed and more space was required.
The addition will stretch out into the area shown in this photo, set back from the historic "front" of the house as to not diminish it's historic significance. It will attach to the smokehouse which is to the right in this photograph.
The pool in back of the house was built in 1844.........just kidding- it was added a few years ago, but our addition will cradle it forming a
courtyard feel for the approach to the water.
Here are some very preliminary sketches of the addition- the first showing the addition to the right of the existing structure, and the second being the "rear" elevation as seen from the yard adjacent the existing pool development.
Here is a rough plan of the addition with the existing house to the left and the existing smokehouse protruding in front- probably becoming an exercise room or studio area. A new front courtyard is formed with a new "friend's entrance" anchored by an existing maple tree. More to follow as we progress.
