Living History
Farms — Flynn
Mansion
Assessment
The Flynn Mansion is an 1867 Italianate style farmhouse, now serving as the centerpiece of Living History Farms. This assessment identified repairs needed for the mansion. The owner used this information for short term and long-term planning decisions.
RDG provided a Conditions Assessment and prioritized recommendations report for this 1867 Italianate style farmhouse, currently being used as a house museum and administrative support offices. The assessment included the exterior elements such as wood shake roofing, stone and brick masonry, wood windows, porches and doors, as well as the interior wood and plaster finishes. RDG used in-house mechanical and electrical engineers to supplement the survey with recommendations for future heating, cooling and power distribution improvements. A construction budget and timeline were also provided. As grants and donations became available, the Owner implemented the repairs that the report identified.
