The home is in remarkable condition considering its age, but it will require plaster wall and ceiling repairs. The floors will also need some repair work followed by refinishing, and the window frames will need to be refinished as well. To bring the building up to modern standards, ADA access and compliant facilities should be added. A caterer's kitchen should be installed to accommodate small events held on the property. The interior should be restored with appropriate wall coverings, rugs, and furniture to reflect the style and elegance of an 1888 lumber baron's home.
