Restoration of an historic building in Thousand Island Park on Wellesley Island, NY.

Originally a photographic shop when Thousand Island Park was created as a Methodist summer retreat in 1875. Through the years the front porch, gable and eave detail were removed and, until recently, the structure housed a barber shop.

The Thousand Island Park Preservation Board and Historical Society recently moved to return the structure to its original appearance. Original design elements were returned to the structure, using a photographic image circa 1879 as reference.
