The restoration of the Shaw House began in 1990 and great care has been taken to make the house as close to the original period as possible. All of the period mouldings, furbishings, fixtures and original finishes were restored. House tours will be conducted by request by Richard Sarkis, the present owner, who originally owned the home from 1991-1997 and repurchased it in 2009. Mark Birmingham, Master Gardener, will also be on hand to give garden tours by request. All proceeds from this tour will benefit the 2012 Women’s Build Habitat for Humanity Home on 158 Campbell Street.
