c. 1790 Solebury House

please scroll to view project

The c. 1790 Solebury House stands as a testament to the layered history of Bucks County, evolving over centuries from a modest homestead into a bustling hub that once housed a general store, tack shop, and now a post office. Its architectural timeline unfolds through a series of expansions: a stone addition in the 1870s, a clapboard extension in 1910, and Victorian embellishments that shaped its character. Our renovation honors this rich past while enhancing the home’s functionality for the modern age. A reconstructed front porch, restored exterior siding and trim, and a renovated chimney will revive its historic charm, while a sympathetic addition expands the kitchen and primary suite. Salvaged materials, from reclaimed wood to original stone, infuse the design with authenticity, ensuring that this 18th-century home remains a living piece of history, thoughtfully adapted for generations to come.
