17th Century Residence Restoration
Moonstone, Rhode Island
17th Century Historic Building Restoration, Wood Shingle Roof
This 17th century residence was built mid-century and burned in 1675 during King Philip's War. It was rebuilt soon after on the undamaged foundation and chimney. At this time, the roof pitch was altered leaving a record of the original roof pitch in the form of flashing which may still be seen in the masonry. We installed the wood shingle roof shown here in premium red cedar shingles.
