A REWARDING EXPERIENCE!
Old House Journal
|March - April 2025
We revitalized a long-forgotten building on a prominent corner and would do it again.
We were drawn to Newburgh, New York because it boasts block after block of historic architecture. The city describes itself as a virtual encyclopedia of eclectic 19th-century styles, from Federal and Greek Revival through Victorian Carpenter Gothic and Gothic Revival, Second Empire, Italianate, Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival, on through Shingle Style.
Newburgh has a strong sense of revival; there’s excitement around bringing buildings back to life. The City even has strict policies governing renovation work in the historic district.Newburgh also has the simmering energy of certain pockets of Brooklyn, with young artists, makers, and cultural aficionados discovering this gritty little city nestled between a river and mountains.
There is a strong sense of revival here and excitement about bringing buildings back to use. Furthermore, Newburgh City has strict policies for rehabilitating architecture in the historic district.

a farmhouse called HANFORD CASTLE
Back in 1890, clean air and simple living were the goals of Edwin and Carrie Hanford and their five children, who'd left crowded Chicago for Oakesdale, a small farming community in the heart of eastern Washington's Palouse countryside. Here amidst softly rolling hills covered by wheat fields, they created a 230-acre farm to grow apples, pears, and plums. In 1896, they built a Victorian “castle” on a promontory overlooking the property. The Hanford family descendants continued to live here for the next century. Terri Gravelle and Paul Matthews purchased it in 1989.
