Historic Boston Inc. on recent ³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ Preservation Carpentry program discoveries at the 18th century farm in Mattapan.
North Bennet Street School is one of the four non-profit partners working together to rehabilitate the 18th century Fowler Clark Epstein Farm into a 21st century working farm.
The first-year Preservation Carpentry students who investigated the front facade of the house will return next fall as second-year students to work on rehabilitating the front of the farmhouse. Pending approvals, ³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ students will propose to make historically accurate window sash and plank frames for the nine front windows, renovate the existing front portico, install a new front foundation sill, and make new clapboards for the front facade.
