This early twentieth century beach rental cottage was in need of significant repairs and updating when the project began in 2010.   The project included reopening the side porch, which had been enclosed in the 1970s, and the recreation of the historic stairs based upon historic remnants. This project is a good example of the issues involved with both updating a property to meet modern code requirements while also retaining, or even restoring, historic elements. State and Federal credits were used for this income producing property and the project was completed in 2011.
