☞ REVIVE: Copper Elements at the Bailey Mansion

The Bailey Mansion on Sugar Hill has been under renovation for almost three years now and progress is slow but dramatic at the same time.  This large estate at the corner of 150th Street on St. Nicholas Avenue had been a funeral home for several decades but was originally built for the business partner of the world famous Barnum and Bailey Circus over a century ago.

A lot of meticulous details have been attended to for this restoration project which has quite an intricate roof that is taking some time to finish up.  The conservatory had the windows accurately replaced along with slate shingles and now some stunning copper casings for the edges have recently been installed.  This is all only for exterior but the fantastic interior is probably also taking some time to get fixed up also: LINK
