The design of the new kitchen borrows colors and details in keeping with the flavor of the rest of the home, including leaded glass cabinet fronts and period accurate lighting. A keyhole window above the sink opens to the parlor, thus creating a site line all the way through from the front yard to the rear patio. The back wall was opened and the kitchen extended to include a small family den and breakfast area overlooking the new rear patio. Gardner/Fox earned the inaugural Radnor Township Historic Preservation Award for the historic restoration of this Horace Trumbauer designed Shingle Style Victorian. The architect developed a complete restoration and modernization plan for the circa 1893 stone and shingle home. Construction included a new two-story addition and garage along with new heating and cooling systems and the restoration or historically accurate replacement of all interior and exterior finishes and fixtures.
