Description |
Exterior view of restored [original] kitchen door sill and lower portions of replacement oak jambs. The [original] stone sill was shifted 2-3 inches to the right [north] to accommodate the adjusted jamb alignments [see DTR09PH4--1001.01.124 for discussion of the effects of this relocation of the sill on the relationship between the doorway jambs, lintel, sill, abutments and hood outlookers, and DTR09FN3--1001.01.176 for a field notes drawing of the probable historic and modern locations of those elements]. See discussion to DTR09PH60--1001.01.144 regarding the water table inside and outside the stone sill and necessary mitigation plans (see DTR09PH66--1001.01.150) designed to protect the structure from its effects. Masonry abutment piers were re-pointed with locally formulated mortar in 2010, applying a hydraulic-grade mix to joints below finished grade or below the high water table range. Laurence Ward, 2010 |
