The superstructure was basically sound, but there was significant damage to the pine sills and joists at the front of the house. A C Wilson & Co. replaced the failed sills and joists to restore the structural integrity of the entire house. When the "Bones" of the house were returned good shape work began on restoring the original components such as trim and hardware while bringing the plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems up to current 2010 standards.
