Graycliff: Second Floor

Wood used throughout the interior and exterior of the house is Southern cypress. Less than 10% of the cypress, interior and exterior, will have to replaced during restoration.

Note
The photographs on this page were taken in August 2000. A limited amount of renovation had taken place by this time. The bulk of the changes are scheduled for 2001. Thus, some of these photos will be out of date after 2000 ends, but hopefully of some long-range interest to viewers. Of more lasting value is the information found in the captions which was gathered primarily in an interview with Conservancy Vice-President Patrick Mahoney.
