Amblers House

Restoration Project - April 2021

Scope of Work

The Amblers House Restoration Project (formerly known as the Vermillion House), located at 2205 Jamestown Road, will repair the exterior features of the historic home which have fallen into disrepair. The proposed exterior restoration measures have been reviewed by the Department of Historic Resources to maintain the property listing on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register. The proposed restoration will include repairs to the slate roof, cleaning and repairing the brick veneer and chimneys, repairing the original windows, replacing the storm windows, adding handrails to entry points, reconstruction of the deck area on the flat roof over the kitchen, removal of asbestos in the basement, gutter replacement and painting. There are two outbuildings on the property, which are not included in this restoration project.
