Restoring Lonsdale House

The restoration was completed in 2024. Our owner worked with local architects, carpenters, builders and restoration experts to restore the historic cornices, architraves and windows throughout the property. Our goal was to breathe life back into the building's architectural character. The dedication of countless local craftsmen and women is woven into the fabric of Lonsdale House, and we thank them all for their enormous effort!
