O Captain, My Captain!
When a Captain’s House on Martha’s Vineyard that was built in the 1870s had fallen into complete disrepair and couldn’t be salvaged, Colonial Reproductions stepped in to return the charmer to its former glory. The new owners, who had another home on the Vineyard, were afraid that a new build wouldn’t have the character or dignity of the original home, so they snatched it up...

Patrick Ahearn FAIA, who grew up on Long Island, often talks about the summers of his youth. He’d head out to the white sand beaches of Montauk on a two-lane country road, surf the ocean’s Gulf Stream waters, fish on the bayside and hang out by the beach shacks that dotted the coast. “It...
