(See yesterday's post on Francis Fassett)
119 Pine St. in Portland Maine was the home of this famous, historic architect. He was also the mentor to John Calvin Stephens. Together the influenced Maine and New England architecture. One of the things I love about 119 Pine St is the consistent attention to detail. The laurel wreath you see above in the original stained glass...
...can also be found in much of the original door hardware.
Speaking of door hardware...wow!
I felt it my duty as an Interior Designer to use authentic decorations-antique books, historical artwork, hand knotted rugs, etc.
Ralph Farnham Blood was a photographer in Maine in the 1930's. His family members recently added color (by hand) to his work. The result is exquisite, a marriage of artistic vision and Maine history-so I HAD to work these pieces into the decor.
