Client: Brent and Mari Willey
Location: 139 Meadville St., Edinboro, Pennsylvania
Dates: Original building — 1878; Renovation complete — 2012
Size: 3,748 SF
This Second Empire-style single-family home was built in 1878 for Isaac Newton Taylor (1838–1916), one of Edinboro University’s founders. The house was the first brick home in town. The university purchased the property in 1986 and used it for offices until it was sold in 2011.
This project included restoring the building to the original single-family home layout and removal of an office addition at the rear of the building. Exterior work included masonry restoration, window replacement, carpentry repair and painting, reconstruction of missing dormers, installation of a new slate roof to match the original, and addition of a porch to the side.
