Work began on the exterior of the Mary Baker Eddy Historic House in Amesbury in 1999 and was completed in 2002.Restoration of the kitchen ell, roof and foundation was addressed first. Then excavation was done, rotted sills replaced and a new entrance deck constructed. More recently, some clapboards and trim were replaced, remaining roof work done and the exterior repainted. Interestingly, since there is original material still left on the structure, a paint analysis (study of the layers of existing paint) was done, recommending a complete color change for historical accuracy to the period in which Mrs. Eddy lived in the house.
