Tuesday, February 25, 5:30pm Living the Old House Dream
Speaker: Patricia Miller, Chief Conservator, Preservation Society of Newport County
The gilded-age mansions of Newport are an important cultural asset in Rhode Island that attract visitors from around the world. The PSNC presents 10 gilded-age historic house museums, three of which have received Geothermal climate control systems within the last decade. The most recent installation at Chateau-sur-Mer, an Italianate villa built 1852 for William Shepherd Wetmore, presented many challenges. Miller will discuss the non-invasive and reversible strategies used to integrate the system and preserve the rich decorative interiors and historic landscape of this historic property.
Fee: $10 RJD or WHALE Members / $13 Public.
