S20E02 The Watertown House - 2
Episode Overview
The episode begins as our host explores the Watertown Arsenal, which is no longer in operation and is set to be transformed into office spaces. A standout feature is the Italianate Commander's Residence, a stunning brick mansion that the developer plans to donate to the town to serve as a community center. The crew experiments with various techniques to remove the layers of paint from the exterior. Meanwhile, our host visits a renovated home in Cambridge, where the design choices led Christian and Sue to select their architects, Sandra and Tony Fairbank. Richard Trethewey inspects the oversized heating plant and assesses the pipes, while Sandra and Christian discuss a proposed redesign of the home's complicated layout.
