An old stone house, a home again.

Timber & Stone acted as the preservation consultant for fellow Architects, Action Pact Design, on this significant rehabilitation project.  The historic stone home, barn, and stable were all restored and modified to accommodate the offices of Katie's Way, a mental health service provider for youth and young adults. Starting in 2015, this extensive renovation turned these 106+ year old buildings into a comfortable and updated counseling center. Fellow consultant, AsterHouse Design, did extensive work on the interiors. To ensure the project was financially viable, the project required National Register status and the use of state and federal preservation tax credits. This is a very extensive process in which Timber & Stone has significant experience. 

This historic building was originally constructed by one of Manhattan's founding families - the Kimble family. It was home to Barney Kimble and his wife, Mary Ann, from 1912 until Barney's death in 1920. It is a two-story limestone, Queen Anne style house with Colonial Revival influences. The form and layout also relate to the American Foursquare with a large hipped roof over the core of the house and smaller intersecting gables on all four sides.
