The changes and additions that were made in 1921-1929 will have to be removed prior to any restoration. These are as follows:

1. Entablature: the wood entablature and soffit moldings are additions and should be removed. The removal of these additions, may make it possible to find wallpaper fragments or additional early paint finishes under the 1920’s entablature. Additional information may be found.
2. Mantel: the mantel was made and installed in 1921-1929 and should be removed. Studying the wall surface under the present later mantel may indicate an outline of the original mantel. In addition, there may be fragments of early wallpaper or paints found under the present mantel.
