This home has been totally disassembled and reconstructed and is now a certified Earth Craft home with Energy Star, Wellness House, Smart House and Working House features. The redesigned interior and the replicated exterior harken to an earlier era. The home survived a fire and 6 major renovations before undergoing this carefully detailed reconstruction. The home now reflects a simple grace and charm and all modern amenities including a sauna, greenhouse, etc. Its tasteful interior, though totally new, retains the historic character of the neighborhood’s late 19th century homes. Each room is unique and conceals the modern energy efficiency and technology features built into the structure. In addition to the replicated moldings many of the period components are recycled including: leaded glass windows, lighting and plumbing fixtures, bronze hardware, doors from over 12 other structures, and countertops (28 Dekalb County High School chemistry table tops are incorporated to make the countertops throughout this home). It is must-see for those interested in new uses for old buildings and is an alternative to “McMansions.” 2008 Parade Guidebook • 69 369064_FairwaysAd.indd 1 3/27/08 2:38:43 PM 369033_Historic.indd 1 3/27/08 2:40:10 PM
