"Produced, directed and written by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Jon Wilkman, this one-hour documentary follows the fascinating state-of-the-art process of restoring the exterior of one of America's greatest architectural treasures, the Gamble House, designed in 1908 by the architect brothers Charles and Henry Greene ... After more than a century of exposure to sun, wind and rain, by 1997 the home was in serious need of conservation and restoration. In response, $3.5 million was raised to support six years of research and planning, and finally more than a year of painstaking hands-on work. In engrossing step-by-step detail, this video captures it all - the passion, dedication and expertise that combined to save an American Arts and Crafts masterpiece and set a new standard for architectural preservation and restoration"--Container.
