ALBEE HOUSE
This historic Portland mansion, built in 1912 for Mayor Russell Albee, was put into our care for a lengthy, careful, considered remodel. Some areas, like the kitchen and bathrooms, we remodeled entirely even moving walls to do so, other rooms were carefully preserved and furnished. We worked with Portland mural artists Lonesome Pictopia to decorate the walls throughout, with brass leaf, painted panels, flowery ceilings, and little animals that show up around every corner.
The house is filled with art, life, and beauty, and feels both modern and comfortable but also like its beautiful old self. Oh! And those yellow and mirrored panels between the breakfast room and the kitchen? That’s the refrigerator!
