The
Veranda room was added to the house in 1999 and provided the owners
an opportunity to raise the level of FIVE STAR finish to a new
and higher standard and to take advantage of the spectacular River,
Harbour, and Bay of Fundy views. The room was added to the side
of the house above a new large covered veranda and provided the
opportunity to correct some architectural errors of past renovations.
The exterior was closely tied into the house with the addition
of period style brackets, trim pieces, post, stair and railing
details.
The
interior was finished with period trim work, doors, and lights
salvaged by Ralph from other local buildings. The random width
painted pine floor recalls an older style found in the mid 1800's
when the house was built and nicely shows off the hand made Persian
rugs.
Set
in a very bold color scheme the furnishings revolve around an
impressive English Walnut bed with heavily carved head and footboard dating
from mid 1800's. It is complemented by a locally made
cupboard. The walls are decorated with a number of steel
engravings taken from 1860's an 70's newspapers and show the laying of
the first trans-Atlantic Cable and several sailing boats of the day.
The Veranda room is finished with a comfortable sitting area ideal for
taking in the views or catching up on the days events on the large flat screen TV. As with
each room at the Homeport there is a four piece bath, individual
climate control and a well lit work desk with private phone, wireless
internet. A DVD and selection of movies are available in house.
