This southern half of the Frederick Ball double house is part of an elite group of residences academically and meticulously restored during the 1990s by Mills Lane IV of The Beehive Foundation in partnership with historic preservation architect Harvie Jones of Huntsville, Alabama. Their goal was to restore important houses as authentically as possible yet have them serve as livable residential properties. Early 19th-century carpentry and finishing techniques were used whenever and wherever practicable.

The Bettencourt House & Barn

Mendocino, California

Purchased as “fixer” in the Mendocino Village in 2001, what followed was a multi-year labor of love to restore and preserve the historic Bettencourt House and Water Tower Barn. Arguably one of finest locations on the coveted western edge of the village of Mendocino, this compound offers stunning, unobstructed, 180-degree views of the bay and the Pacific Ocean. The transformation carefully balanced the historic with the contemporary adding modern comforts like radiant heating, custom-built cabinetry, and updated systems.
