In the tenth installment of our Monument by Green Front video series, the historic home renovation at 2315 Monument Avenue gets personal, detailed and more inspiring than ever. This phase focuses squarely on historic restoration and preservation as Den Cralle leads a thoughtful transformation of this 1920s Mediterranean Revival home.
This isn’t just any house. It’s a William Bottomley original, built with intention and tailored for timeless appeal. Den’s mission is clear: Honor Bottomley’s architectural vision while shaping the space for 21st‑century living.
Watch as the team tackles challenges big and small. Get a front‑row seat to outdoor demolition. See how Gepetto Millworks brings new life to historic window restoration and hear about our century‑old glass rondel windows. Learn how we’re restoring the carriage house garage doors to Bottomley’s original three‑door design. This chapter of the renovation celebrates meticulous craftsmanship over shortcuts. Even the rooftop terrace and custom Gracie Studio handpainted wallpaper encounter real‑world tests.
But this series isn’t just blueprints and materials.
You’ll discover why Den chose to live in the home before renovations began and how a visit from the owner of another Bottomley masterpiece — the Pink Palace in Castine, ME — sparked reflections on timeless architectural design.
Across each episode, one question emerges: How do you modernize without erasing what makes a house extraordinary?
Whether you love 1920s architecture, find yourself fascinated by historic window restoration, or just appreciate intentional design, this series offers a rare look at how legacy and lifestyle can align — beautifully.
