RISD Pendleton House
Built at the turn of the 19th century, the Pendleton House at the Rhode Island School of Design is the country’s first contextual museum of American decorative arts.
.
Although Pendleton House gives the appearance of a domestic residence, it was built for the purpose of displaying the collections of Charles L. Pendleton (1846-1904), which were given to the RISD Museum in 1904. Martone was proud to restore the charming Georgian-style building’s exterior. Our scope included restoration carpentry for the trim and windows, the installation of new shutters, and all exterior painting including the fence. Like much of our work on active academic campuses and along busy city streets, our crew took great care and careful coordination to ensure that school operations and the surrounding neighborhood were not disrupted.
