Orson Adams pioneer house renovation

This was a great job! We came in originally as a subcontractor to rebuild one of these walls and restore the stonework in this pioneer house built in the early 1860's in Harrisburg, Utah. We were lucky and became the general contractor for the second phase which included the doors, windows, floors,plaster, alarm system and shutters. It was a great experience working with the folks at the BLM.
