David Follett describes his work on Jean Hasbrouck House
Starting June 4, phase one of the project to restore the original 18th-century roof framing of the Jean Hasbrouck House (ca. 1721) at Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) will begin and is expected to continue through June 15.
The Jean Hasbrouck House is a specific and rare example of traditional Dutch 18th-century architecture. The house’s high-pitched gable roof spans twice the depth of other stone houses from the period and is one of a kind in the United States. The house was named a National Historic Landmark in 1967 and serves as the flagship house of seven historic house museums comprising Historic Huguenot Street’s 10-acre National Historic Landmark District (awarded 1960).
The project in the first two weeks of June focuses on the repair of damaged rafter feet on both the west and east slopes of the house as well as frame connections on the interior in the 18th-century timber-roof frame.

In spring 2017, Ken Follett of PreCon Logstrat, LLC (project manager) and Derek Trelstad of Silman Associates (structural engineers) recommended bringing in timber-frame experts Rudy and Laura Christian of Christian and Son, Inc., and Ian Stewart of New Netherland Timber Framing and their experienced team to ensure a historically appropriate and structurally sound solution to issues in the 300-year-old roof framing. The need for this expertise was based on a 2D and 3D structural analysis provided by Silman Associates.

Thanks so much for watching! Also a couple edits: 1) Winter Chill-Out is run by Cedar Point to help A Kid Again charity. I mentioned it as an ACE event. Many Enthusiasts and Ace do go to this event. 2) The paper crown is from Kid Arthur's Court not the King Arthur's Court as I said.
