During the 5th annual CRAN Symposium (that took place in Newport, R.I.), I arraigned a tour of a renovation of mine that was under construction in Middletown, RI as part of our symposium house tour. For those of your that attended, here is an absolutely spectacular video of the completed renovation and addition, ...with completely no recognition to artists that actually led the design to restore and recreate it, Andreozzi Architects & Keith LeBlanc Landscape Architecture.

| This estate, completely rebuilt in 2010, was originally designed in 1883 for the American actor Edwin Booth, brother of the infamous John Wilkes Booth. On the exterior, classic Queen Anne stick style design with detailed shingle courses and bracketed eaves spectacularly enhance the character of this classic home. |

It was originally built for John Wilkes Booth’s brother, Edwin Booth, the most famous theater actor ever to live.
It is also the place where the story behind movie the Sting actually happened when it was left vacant around the depression.
I hope things are well... enjoy!
