[MassHistPres] Info on historically accurate paint colors for Victorian era house

[jack mac donald]

Hi Mr Temple,

 

New Bedford's WHALE organization hosted a historic paint workshop 2 months
ago and the 2 speakers were terrific.  I can get the information for you,
your friend, or speak to them directly.  I am a painting contractor who
specializes in this sort of thing.  I found it.  One fellow was:

 

Frederic Detwiller

302 Central St.

Georgetown, MA 01833

 <mailto:rick.detwiller at comcast.net> rick.detwiller at comcast.net

 

He is an architect who also specializes in historic paint schemes.  The
other gentleman was:

 

John B. Vaughan

Architectural Conservation Services  

190 High Street

Bristol, RI 02809

(401) 410-0077 T

 <http://www.archconserve.com> www.archconserve.com

 

His company provides paint analysis so if your friend wanted to know what
original colors were applied call him.  I have family in Medfield.

 

Good Luck

A local friend is plannning to repaint a ~1910 Queen Anne house in Medfield
a different color and looking for advice about historically appropriate
colors.  Any suggestions about sources of information?
