Barry and Jennifer Jaruzelski bought the 1906 Walter J. Lee House in nearly original condition from Lee's daughter-in-law, Harriet Lee. Barry and Jennifer wanted to keep the original structure intact but needed additional space for their family. Vincentsen Associates added 50 percent new living space to the original structure while replacing only three rooms-the kitchen, hall bath, and a bedroom. A third gable was added with a simulated gambrel detail to match the side elevations. The architects also applied the scale of existing rooms to the addition, while replicating trim and millwork. Doors and windows were salvaged from the original structure and re-used in the seamless addition.
