Session Outline
Restoring the Original Craftsman Home: Saving the Gustav Stickley House
For over twenty years the historic Gustav Stickley House in Syracuse was vacant and rapidly deteriorating. Many feared the loss of the architecturally significant 1902 interior, considered the first comprehensive Craftsman period design in America. Today, with the help of local preservationists, historians, Arts & Crafts period devotees, designers, and Stickley descendants, the first phase of the multi-phase restoration is underway and includes structural stabilization, abatement, masonry repair, new roofing, window preservation, wood trim repair & replication, and reconstruction of the period front porch. Join us for a three part panel discussion to learn how a coalition of not-for-profits groups, the preservation architects, and the City of Syracuse are working together to promote, fundraise, and preserve the Gustav Stickley House as a unique period icon in American architecture.
