Cabbagetown Victorian
 
 
 

 

 
This neglected late 1800s Victorian had survived several Mill Town families over the century and had severe structural problems when we discovered it. The main problem with the curb appeal was the front porch, which had been altered over the years. We met extensively with Atlanta's Historic Design Commission to get approval for our design. We used 100 year old porch posts, Victorian spindlework, and gingerbread to bring back the curb appeal of this beautiful home. We restored the rare Eastlake style front door, added a new roof, completed extensive foundation work, and painted it a rich velvety aubergine with green sashes and creamy trim.
