The
next 4 photos are of a Jules Gregory home in Bucks County. Jules
Gregory is featured on history page 7. This home along with his
personal residence near Lambertville, I feel are 2 of the most
beautiful mid-century homes of the area, due in part to the delicate
feel of their curving roof lines

The following series of photos are of the Elizabeth H Ernst Residence in Bucks Co. The home has undergone a complete renovation expanding the 1965 home by the Todd firm of Chestnut Hill into a much more livable space while maintaining the character and scale of the original home.
The original home was on 3 levels. Along with the need for a master bedroom and attached garage another major goal with this project was to have the majority of the main living spaces all on one floor. The next 4 photos show the process of bringing up the two smaller bedrooms up 4 feet to be on the same level as the new gallery hall, master and garage.
The next 3 photos are taken at the same place in the main living space, original, during and after renovation
