Wright-Ryan had the privilege of working on a home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The home, named for Harrison B. Brown, was originally built in mid-eighteen hundreds. As construction progressed on this project, we discovered the paint detail, as seen in the photo, was covered by other layers of paint. After carefully removing the layers, we were able to restore the ceiling to its original brilliance. Here's the interesting part- Harrison Bird Brown was known for his marine paintings, focusing on the Casco Bay region. He began his career working for ship painters and later had his own sign shop. Coincidence? I can only assume that part of the historical significance of this home might be the intricate paintings throughout the ceilings of the home. I could be wrong, but it makes a nice story.
