Root Cellar /smoke house renovations

This is a job I recently completed for a former staff member at the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission member. Shown are the doors and the root cellar in varying stages of renovation. In keeping with the ideals of historic preservation only work that needs to be done is repaired. While complete renovation might be more pleasing to the eye it often hides the history of the structure. The door designs were found in the Eric Sloane book "A Reverence For Wood".
