This historic Minneapolis project was all about recreating the home’s original character with entirely new construction. Using vintage photographs provided by the homeowners, we recreated elements of the original early-1900s front entry that had been lost or altered over time.

Everything was replaced and rebuilt from the ground up. Our team poured custom antique-finish concrete steps, constructed architectural buttresses, rebuilt the brickwork and capped columns, and recreated the original entry layout. The project also included a new antique-finish concrete driveway, creating a cohesive look from the street to the front entry.

The finished project brings back the character of the home’s original design while giving the homeowners an entirely new entry and driveway built to last.

This project is a perfect example of how thoughtful design, period-sensitive materials, and expert craftsmanship can revive a home’s original charm while meeting today’s standards for quality and longevity.
