When the houses on Cherokee Street were originally built, the railings were all designed to be similar. Of course, not all of these original railings still exist—like many older neighborhoods you can find a variety of railing styles on the street. Our home on 512 Cherokee had lost its original railing and was in a state of disrepair. This provided an opportunity. 512 Cherokee is now getting a new, durable railing that mirrors one of the original designs. In designing this railing, the carpenter went to a neighbor with the original railing to get the measurements. This seemingly small change has made a big impact on the appearance of the home. I can’t wait to see it once it’s painted!
The house that provided the measurements.
