SMALL HOUSE

The Small family moved this home, originally one of the “wooden tents” of nearby Oak Bluffs, to its present site in the 1880’s. A century later, however, the house was in disrepair and legally condemned. Instead of tearing it down and building something new, the client chose to undertake a genuine restoration of the original Victorian, salvaging parts and manufacturing new ones where necessary.
