The need for garage door repair is a serious one. Having a faulty garage presents safety and security dangers. It also increases the probability of inflicting costly damage that gets worse the longer it's left unattended to. Not to mention the inconvenience of not being able to enter or exit the garage easily. Our professional Staten Island garage door services include:
• Garage door opener repair in Todt Hill, Staten Island, NY
• Garage door roller repair in Todt Hill, Staten Island, NY
• Garage door transmitter repair in Todt Hill, Staten Island, NY

• And more garage door services in Todt Hill, Staten Island, NY
A properly working garage can allow for easy access in and out of the garage, as well as protect your home and vehicles from intruders, burglary, and environmental damage. Obviously you need garage door repairs when it doesn't lift or close properly, but other indicators may be more difficult to detect. Having a professional like the experts at Tri-State Garage Services conduct regular garage door inspections is key to properly maintaining a fully functioning garage and preventing bigger problems in the future. If you suspect there is a problem with your garage door, give us a call immediately so we can diagnose the problem, fix it efficiently, and save you precious time and money.
No garage door issue is too tough to tackle for Tri-State Garage Services. It's important to be mindful of the following problems you may experience with your garage door, which warrant inspection by a professional garage door technician.
The garage door moves on its own. If your garage door won't stay closed or open, its springs may be to blame. Garage door torsion spring repair or spring replacement may be required to get the door working properly. The issue may also be caused by damaged parts that need to be replaced, which should only be done by a professional to ensure safety.
The garage door stalls or jams as it moves, or it's stuck in a closed/open position. A jammed garage door could signal a mechanical-related issue or a roller issue. Off-track rollers can cause a rough operation for the garage door, which may warrant garage door roller repair or garage door track repair.
The garage door is leaky. Your garage door should seal in the garage interior and prevent items inside from getting wet or moist due to everything from storms to car washes. A leaky garage door could lead to damaging other parts of your house, such as walls and flooring. The bottom seal rubber may need to be replaced, or there could be another issue that only a professional can diagnose.
The garage door won't close or open properly. While garage door opener repair may do the trick to get your garage working properly again, there could be more extensive motor issues. If none of your garage door openers work, call a technician for help.
The garage door is unusually noisy. Whether the motor emits a noise on the remote signal, or the motor itself is noisy, or the garage door makes a screeching or squeaky sound when it moves, none of these situations is normal. You may also need garage door repair for other issues like broken cables, broken tracks, or a full garage door panel replacement. If you suspect anything is wrong with your garage door, it's important to quickly call a professional to fix the problem quickly so it doesn't get worse.

I have a 9-year-old who doesn't yet know how to tie shoes. I think it's a fine motor issue, as he does have some trouble with things like handwriting, buttons, etc. When I heard about HICKIES no-tie elastic shoelaces, I knew they would be perfect for Zachary. But guess what? When I received mine, I realized I wanted them for myself! (Zachary wants to use them too, but he first needs a pair of shoes to use them on!)
HICKIES laces turn any pair of shoes into slip-ons, while maintaining the tightness needed in a good sneaker. Each eyelet is connected separately so you can decide how tight you want your fit to be. They work in any type of shoe that has eyelets, and with many color options they can be worn in any sneakers, work boots, and even dress shoes.
These are the shoes I wear every day when I exercise. As you can see, the laces are so long that I have to double-knot them and tuck the ends under the middle so they don't flap all over the place when I am jumping and moving around. I laced my right shoe with HICKIES in order to test them out. The lacing system is not hard, but you only have to do it one time!
I laced my top and bottom eyelets the classic way, and used the crossing option on the middle section for added tightness.
In order to test the HICKIES laces, I did my workout with my regular laces on the left and the new set on the right. I noticed that the shoe with the HICKIES stayed adjusted the same way the whole time, while the other laces loosened. I also noticed that my shoe felt comfortable and looked great! So, I replaced my laces with HICKIES shoelaces on the left side as well. At first, I thought I would have to loosen the HICKIES to put my shoes on, but I don't, they are just like slip-ons now. So, when I go to the gym and exercise , take off my shoes for yoga, and then put my shoes on again to leave the gym, I won't have to re-tie them!
HICKIES are available in a wide range of colors and even come in slightly smaller size for kids. Right now, adult HICKIES are $13.99 and kids are $9.99. If you buy 4 packs, you will get 1 free. Plus, you can use the code USFG to save an additional 20% off!
I think these would make a fun gift, don't you?
I received this product in exchange for my review. No other compensation was received and all opinions are my own.

Field technician: Where does the grey wire from terminal 21 go?
Engineer: Grey? That wire should be light blue.
Field technician: All the wires I see are grey.
This is what happens when the talented but willful production team takes engineering directives as suggestions. Decisions regarding component selection are informed by specifications, regulations, physical laws, and personal preference. Regardless of how a decision was arrived at (fortune cookies, dice rolling, asking the janitor, etc.), it is not the place of production to second-guess engineering. If it was, then they would be the ones in a windowless office under flickering fluorescents, surrounded by productivity-increasing bland grey furnishings.
I am not talking about problems reported back to engineering for correction. I am talking about laborers thinking they will use a solenoid in place of the one you specified, because it looks similar and has the same voltage rating, and then not telling anybody.
Excuses like "I ran out of blue wire," "It's almost identical," and my favorite, "That's not how we used to do it," are not valid excuses. I can't even think of a valid excuse. In this particular case, a multimillion-dollar fire suppression system was to be installed throughout a manufacturing facility. This location routinely bursts into flames, they use kerosene as a lubricant. Fire breaks out, CO2 floods the area, workers have just enough time to escape certain suffocation. The control panels for this facility were being repaired and upgraded, when some questions arose. As they gave the opening exchange, above, they had replaced control panels wiring with some grey wire that looked "like the same stuff." After an argument over the wire, the engineer's demands won out. The project was on hold until the proper wire was obtained.
How do we assist the field tech or customer when documentation does not match the physical design in the field? An adulterated design which may later require the ministrations of a technician because production took liberties during construction.

Searching for Amiens
Posted 19 May 2005 - 18:00
Picture from the 1955 Autosport Directory
The description of the circuit in that book says that it is due north of the city, using part of the main N.16 road (the Dunkerque road.)
A look at a modern road atlas will quickly show that there is NO N.16 near Amiens. The road that runs north towards the coast is the N.25. I gather that road numbers have been known to be altered in France, so this could be the same road.
However, allowing for the fact that the circuit was just under 3 kilometres long, the circuit map did not seem to match any part of the N.25 as it leaves Amiens. There are only 3 basic corners on the circuit, named Doullens, Rainneville and St. Pierre. Doullens is a town some distance up the N.25, Rainneville is a village on the D.11, the next road to the east of the N.25, running from Amiens, and of St. Pierre there seemed no trace.
Section of map from Michelin Atlas of France 1998
Driving across to Amiens, we noticed that there is, in fact, just one piece of road that runs between the N.25 at Villiers-Bocage and Rainneville to the east, so we begun our quest along that road (coloured orange on the map above). Of course, we could see from the map that there are no roads running south from that road, however, as we drove slowly along it from the north, we saw a very narrow farm track heading south.
We passed that one and continued around the slight left curve, only to find another, similar track. This one we drove down (marked in green on the map). It ran for maybe 50 metres before petering out into a rough area surrounded by crops. Roger turned the T.T. around and drove back to the road. We turned left and drove to the left-hand of the two tracks (marked in pink). This one ran into the fields for a similar distance but ended in the same way that the other had. This time there was no room to turn around so Roger began to reverse towards the road. As we neared the road, a blue Peugeot 206 stopped right across the end of the track, barring our way.
Out from the 206 stepped…. 2 uniforms! The Gendarmerie had arrived. The surlier of the 2 walked to the driver's side of our car and Roger lowered the window. Fortunately, Roger has an excellent command of French and very quickly assured the gentleman that we were, in fact, not up to mischief, but were indeed, barking mad! He got the message about what we were doing and with a very typical Gallic shrug he turned away.
So, we had an idea that these 2 tracks may have been the circuit, but had long since been partially dug up and cultivated.
Then, I noticed that in the village of Coisy, south of where we were, there is a church. I opined that if that church was called St. Pierre, we may well have stumbled on the answer, because it was obvious that our 2 tracks, with a couple of gentle kinks could have met somewhere down near that church.
Arriving in Coisy, we found a locked church with no name plate anywhere to be seen. Then an elderly gentleman pitched up in an old Renault, and Roger questioned him as to the name of the church. Just our luck to find the one Frenchman who couldn't understand French! He seemed to think that we had mistaken this little village church for Amiens Cathedral and tried to direct us back the 8 kilometres to Amiens. Eventually, sanity returned and we did learn that the church is called…. St. Pierre! Q.E.D ? Well, no, not really, but the evidence grows.
Certainly, if this was the location of the circuit, life in the area could have happily continued with almost no interruption caused by the racing.
None of the 3 corners named earlier are actually at those locations but they are in the correct direction. A trait used on countless circuits; (as evidence, I refer to Thillois and Arnage to name but 2). So, we believe we may well have located the Amiens circuit, but really we need someone either with a 1950s French road Atlas or someone with access to local maps of the area.
Posted 19 May 2005 - 19:15
I looked two years ago and couldn't find it. Admittedly, I didn't have long, but had to give up.
Your notes and maps have got me thinking again though!
Posted 19 May 2005 - 21:50
Write to the mapping authority in France and find out if they are the ones with the photographs.
Another source might well be wartime military maps.
In the meantime, is it okay if I pilfer your paragraph about the gentleman in the Renault? It would fit in perfectly with a thread in the Paddock.
Posted 19 May 2005 - 21:54
Posted 19 May 2005 - 22:17
And have you started looking into the aerial photo question?
Posted 19 May 2005 - 22:21
Posted 19 May 2005 - 22:57
But if I were you, I'd contact the defence people in GB and ask what they might have in wartime maps of the area. Then ask them if they have any aerial photography of the area from that period.
Someone in France would readily find out which department is in charge of mapping and work from there. And there's more than an outside chance that Michelin might be able to help locate where to start.
Posted 19 May 2005 - 23:35
It's a government agency for everything related to topography.
They sell aerial photographies, maps, etc.
(I remember about buying some special maps from them when I was a kid... I don't remember what kind of maps but I remember being really excited)
Other than that, I know a historian at la Commission des Sites et Monuments Historiques in Paris.
He's specialised on the 20th century and his last book is about old forgotten french airfields.
Last time I've heard about him, he was thinking about doing a book on old french race tracks.
If you need his details, I could find them out for you.
EDIT Add a better look at the IGN website and, indeed, it's in french only :
There is an input field on the bottom right corner ont the homepage where you can enter postal codes, village names and all.
I've tried Coisy since it's in the center of your map and I've found this:
Apparently they have an 1947, 1961, 1965 aerial pictures of la commune de Coisy
They don't show a preview but you can order prints and the picture on CD as well.
Posted 20 May 2005 - 01:05
Very good, Pils. That should be a great start. If there's a prospect of e.mailing them, provided you can get past the language barrier, try to convey the thought that you want the area involved. Often, of course, you will find that the photographs will have a village, for instance, located to one side. This can be a pain, as you might get the village all right, but not the area you actually want.
The photographs do overlap, of course, both north to south and east to west, so there should be something that covers the whole of the area.
If they have them on CD I'd imagine it wouldn't be very expensive to get all you want in the area. 1947 and 1961 is, of course, a difficult spread of years. Were the roads there in 1947? Maybe... were they still there in 1961? Maybe...
1961 photos would certainly still show the outline of the roads even if they didn't exist any longer. But in all probability the roads were actually there in 1947.
I wonder if racing stopped because the roads were being closed off?
Posted 20 May 2005 - 01:14
12 Euro for the smallest print.
That's just for that Coisy area!
Better to send an email to have a more specific area coverage.
Posted 20 May 2005 - 09:25
Way back in the 1970s I went to look for the Amiens circuit. The huge N25/N1 junction was not there but a short dual carriageaway N25 heading south into the north of the city was and this road had already replaced what was once, I think, the N16.
I thought the circuit, much of which has disappeared, followed this route on your modern map.
The pits/start was on the link road from Poulainville to the D 11 turning left onto the Amiens-Rainneville road. The circuit headed south towards the city and at some point (now buried by the modern road complex) at the St Pierre hairpin headed north up the main road (then the N16 to Doullens) back into the village of Poulainville and turn left into the short finishing straight.
This may be totally wrong but that's the circuit I drove with a less-than-impressed wife and bemused kids.
Posted 20 May 2005 - 09:50
Posted 20 May 2005 - 11:33
I suspect that the dotted line on the Autosport map is the projected route for the first northern ring road around Amiens. It may well have been under construction at the time this Amiens circuit was used.
Posted 20 May 2005 - 11:49
My main confusion is because apart from the gentle left curve on the start/finish straight, there are no left turns on the circuit.
Also, if the circuit is as far south as you describe, I cannot see why they would name 2 of the corners after Rainneville and St. Pierre.
The plot thickens...
Posted 20 May 2005 - 12:29
Getting lefts and rights mixed up!! Rights in place of lefts!! I'm assumimg they raced clockwise.
The names of the corners are simply references to the nearest or major town on that route. Locally the N16 was probably known as the Doullens road and the D11 the Rainneville road. In Amiens there is quite likely a church called St.Pierre, there are thousands of "St Peters" churches in Europe.
The newish N25 ring road and the earlier ones cut across the southern end of the circuit.
Posted 20 May 2005 - 13:43
I get the impression that the N25 north of Amiens has been straightened since the Autosport map appeared. There is a link road joining the N25 (N16 as was) to the D11 running NW-SE which I think is the same road running from St Pierre corner up to the kink where the race circuit joins the old N16 - it's just beneath the 4 kilometre distance mark just S of the big N25 junction on the Michelin map in Barry's first post.
The only thing I'm not certain about is the circuit distance - It seems from Michelin that it's 3 km from the big N25 junction to the far side of Poulainville and I would estimate that the circuit was longer than this - but it may just be me.
Posted 21 May 2005 - 10:15
Well that is the St.Pierre reference dealt with but I think you are right when you suggest that the circuit I described is too long; far too long for a 2.963 km lap. If the St Pierre hairpin was actually in St. Pierre then the route of the old road linking the N16 (25) and the D11 must be somewhere under the N25 junction. If the St Pierre hairpin was slightly further to the north and now buried under the same N25 junction then the Poulainville to D11 could have been the link road. I must try and acquire an old 1950s or earlier road atlas. Does anybody know when Michelin began producing the detailed road atlases?
Of course, Jean-Maurice can probably explain all!
Posted 21 May 2005 - 10:47
I'm not sure why Charles suggested that the N25 has been straightened since the Autosport map appeared. It is, of course, not unusual for French road to run straight for many kilometres and this has been the case for far more than 50 years. I can't recall any signs of the road having been straightened when we drove along it early this week. You would usually expect to see lay-byes where there were once bends.
I have another circuit map from the mid-50s, in the Motor Racing Directory. It shows little more detail than the one in the Autosport directory but two things are clear.
(1) the road across the circuit, which is shown as dotted in the Autosport plan, and which humphries suggested may be the course of of proposed Amiens by-pass is here shown as a solid line. It continues beyond the straight from the St Pierre to the Doullens corner, but stops when it reaches the track between Rainneville and St Pierre.
(2) Both the Rainneville and St Pierre corners are at cross roads.
These things may help to locate the track.
The early 50s races were reported in Autosport by Jabby Crombac. He gives no detail of the course, but he may be able to help us if anybody has contact details.
Posted 21 May 2005 - 11:02
And military maps.
Posted 21 May 2005 - 11:57
As Roger says the N16 was very unlikely to have been closed but it states with the Autosport map that a part of the N16 was used. Therefore it is likely that the circuit was more or less in the St Pierre district and there would have been a diversion using other roads so as not to distrupt normal traffic. The advantage of acquiring photocopies from a local newspaper is that the diversion arrangements were published as well as the circuit layout. Unfortunately I have no such photocopies.
Posted 21 May 2005 - 12:52
Posted 22 May 2005 - 22:29
Googling a bit more using "Coisy and Eglise" I found the following on Coisy:
Eglise de la Nativité de la Sainte Vierge, style néo-gothique (19ème siècle). La cloche date de 1492
which translates as 'Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, neo-gothic style (nineteenth century). The bell dates from 1492'
I think your local may have misunderstood the question - but Poulainville's church has a dedication to Saint Pierre.
I've done some very simple scaling from the map in the 1955 Autosport directory. The start-finish straight is about 3/4 Km, Raineville corner to St. Pierre corner 0.89 Km, the next short straight 150 metres, then 2/3 km up the road to the North (I hope that's not an assumption too far) before the kink and then 1/2 Km to the Doullens corner.
Although we don't see photos on the IGN site mentioned by Pils1989, there is quite an interesting map of the area around Coisy, Poulainville and Amiens with a few extra roads not all of which run Roman or ruler straight. Michelin maps are sometimes a bit stylised.
I don't think there is anything which would have stopped the French from closing a main road for a race meeting in the 1950s with far less traffic than nowadays. In the 1970s I used to visit a certain cathedral city in the Sarthe valley where they closed the main road for their 24 hour race in June. I'm still not any nearer finding where the 1950s circuit was situated but I would so like to be one of Les Amis des Circuits d'Antan

I wondered whether there are any clues in the literature which TonyKaye and Marc Ceulemans discussed here ? Does anyone know what other classes were racing in 1952 at Amiens apart from the 500s? It might be more difficult to persuade the local French authorities to close a main road for a 500cc race.
I wish I'd read The Golden Rules of Motor Racing Research before - wonderful stuff.
Posted 23 May 2005 - 19:04
In 1952 and 53 there were two F3 heats and a final. Autosport doesn't mention any other races. In 1954 it says that hte meeting comprised two sports car and a touring class event.

Posted 23 May 2005 - 22:40
Now... where does it fit?
Posted 23 May 2005 - 22:57
This would mean that the N16 went through Poulainville and Coisy and up the missing road that should be in purple to turn left at the road across from Rainneville to Doullens. When the new road went in it acted as a bypass and other roads were closed.
Somebody get an aerial photo and prove me wrong, eh?
Posted 24 May 2005 - 08:56
On the right hand side I think I can see Ravitaillement and possibly Chronometrage (Pits and Timekeepers). Can you read the words on the road heading northeast away from the circuit at the Virage de Rainneville?
The long straight with the kink has the name Route de Doullens.
Ray, your compatriots were over here during the First World War and their map (the third one down the page) shows the road from Poulainville followed pretty much its (N16/N25) current course south towards Amiens apart from a little detour much closer to the city where it dives off to the south east to join the modern D329 (coming in from Querrieu and Pont-Noyelles (and Albert off the map)). The combined roads then entered the city via Les Hortillages (commercial allotments watered by the Somme). You could try asking the Royal Australian Air Force if they still have the photos.
Cassini's map of the seventeenth century shows the same road layout (and St. Pierre).
The results of the (Grand?) Prix de Picardie on 20 June 1954 have Jacques Pollet's Gordini beating Hans Davids' Jaguar C type in a race which lasted over an hour and a half. Although the circuit length is not given it does come out to 2.963 Km, the same as the 500 cc circuit and a race average of over 70 mph (113,4 Km/h) suggests quite a quick circuit.

My French road atlas has a scale of 1 cm = 2 kilometres. I think we are agreed that the circuit in question was just a tad under 3 kilometres in length. So, on the map 1.5 cms.
Here is a wire representation of the circuit, to scale, placed on the area we have been discussing; as it is so small, the slight bends in the road were not possible to reproduce, but the general shape is about right.
Trust me, that really is 1.5 cms long.
So..... I'm not sure that it helps too much but I think it does give an idea of the distances involved and to me, it makes it even less likely that it actually used the main road, despite the evidence to the contrary.

And that posting has answered some questions I last put to the board a couple of years back here http://forums.atlasf...&threadid=38887. I don't suppose that you have images of any others?
Posted 24 May 2005 - 11:29
Good idea the bit of wire! At this point in time I think that St Pierre corner was where the yellow D11 using your first post of the modern map meets the red (Boulevard de Roubaix).As a marker there is a blue rectangle a little below the place I'm talking about. There is a roundabout there now instead of the crossroads but an inverted Y shaped road is opposite the D11 as shown on the circuit map provided by Alex. If the wire would slot into the V there I think it would show that the rest of the circuit is now dead and buried under the big Ring Road junction and the greatly altered B. de Roubaix. As the circuit was only 1.8 miles long there simply isn't anywhere else where the Doullens road and the Rainneville roads could be included.
What do you think?

Well, okay, it is your dumb thread after all!
What I really want to know now is this:
Is that really wire, or is it a piece of solder?
And seeing as the scale is that small, anything goes. I'll stay out of it until the aerial survey photos turn up, and I'm sorry, Charles, that map's too obscure for me to make out enough to be of any help.
Posted 24 May 2005 - 16:45
And why, pray, is it a dumb thread? I would have thought that it is, in fact, a vital piece of racing history.
Posted 24 May 2005 - 18:28
The words under the A are: "Reserve aux militaires et scolaires". The words on the road at V de Rainneville are very difficult to read but something like "Banc et Atalier". The first letter of the first word could easily be different.

Allesandro, thanks very much for posting the page of "Racers 500" circuit maps. I can make out some of the lettering with a magnifying glass, but can you see in the original what the words are below the A in the top left corner of the Circuit d'Amiens?
On the right hand side I think I can see Ravitaillement and possibly Chronometrage (Pits and Timekeepers). Can you read the words on the road heading northeast away from the circuit at the Virage de Rainneville?
The Racers 500 book the it was "un nouveau circuit trace aux portes d'Amiens" which might support Humphries' suggestion that it was nearer to Amiens than Barry and I were looking.

Indeed, a vital piece of racing history. I have no idea why Pierre et Jacques, not to mention Eleanor et Jacqueline, haven't taken care of this in the past. Why is it always left to us?

I was looking in my route planner and came up with these 2 maps.
The firts is just the city, so names are better to read.
The next is what I think could be the track, length matches about.
Although I know streats have diffirent names and some are gone on my map.
Does anybody know if, what now is Boulevard de Roubaix, could be the start / finnish straight?
Posted 05 September 2005 - 15:19
So I fear we may still be searching.
Posted 06 September 2005 - 05:54
I made a route as close to the layout of the track as posible.
And this is a route of 3,3km long and it has an extra "loop" in it, so it is not as far of the tracks length as you indicated.
And by far not 4 or 5 km.
Posted 06 September 2005 - 07:04
I went to the same area of Amiens on Multimap and got my numbers using the scale on the bottom of their maps. Clearly these are not accurate.
This really looks promising; if only we knew where to get our hands (eyes) on a town map from the 1950s.
Posted 10 September 2005 - 22:36
This is from an old Michelin I obtained today at Beaulieu. I'm not sure of the date, but the price printed on the cover is 70 fr, which means (I hope) old francs, and (I think) the 1950s.
As the N16 approaches Amiens from the North it runs dead straight for several kilometres and then bears left. It seems to me possible that the N16 originally continued straight on what is a yellow road on my map. If that is so, the Virage St Pierre could be at the junction of the "old" N16 and the D11, and the start/finish straight could be covered by the "new" N16. All the other roads, and the length of the circuit seem to fit.

Note I've just re-read Rogers post and think we're talking about the same part of the map - sorry if that is the case I got my lefts and rights mixed up when I first read Rogers post
I'm probably missing something but is the part of the map circled in black a possible contender? I say this having looked at Roger's new/old map, the original description, allesandros map (in particular looking at the roads just off from the circuit) and Barry's wire (which tells us that the length of the main straight is basically the distance as the crow flies between the bottom of Coisy and the top of Poulainville).I'm also wondering where the "Parc St-Pierre" is relative to this and whether that was the origin for the name of the bottom corner?

The area you have circled is exactly where I think the circuit was.

It does indeed. The D11 is and was the Route de Rainneville.
I'll be taking my camera up there in three weeks or so when I get back from holiday.

"During 2015-2017, the growth of Indonesia's digital economy has almost reached 90 percent," Sungkari told reporters on the sidelines of the Bekraf Developer Day 2019 here on Sunday.
In 2017, e-commerce transaction in Indonesia has reached US$8 million, of which US$5 million were made through online stores such as Bukalapak, Tokopedia, and others.
"The interesting fact is that of the US$5 million (transaction), the sellers are small firms led by women," he added.
"It is important for us that digital transaction will benefit Indonesia," Sungkari remarked.
"Today, we invite programmers who are expected to create applications to resolve any problem (in digital economy)," he said.
There are 16 sub-sectors in creative economy that can be developed namely game application and development, architecture, product design, fashion, interior design, visual communication design, film/animation/video, photography, handicrafts, culinary, music, publishing, advertising, fine arts, television and radio.

Before and After: Classic Home Updated
Just in time for its 200th birthday, a new England home gets a facelift
Classic House
It's the best of birthday presents. Just in time for its big 200th, the Federal home built in 1812 on a marshy point on Massachusetts' Duxbury Bay underwent a redesign that shaved decades off its appearance and added useful livability. This face-lift, executed by Boston interior designer Gerald Pomeroy, did not compromise a single inch of the neoclassical clapboard house's historical integrity. Refreshed and energized, it's still age-appropriate—just what longtime owner Frank Wineski and his new bride, Lynn Dale (they married in February 2011), envisioned.
"We wanted the house to be lighthearted—not safe but not disco-ball-in-the-dining-room," laughs Lynn. Proceeding with sensitivity was in order, and not only because of the house's age. Frank and his late wife bought the house in 1976 and raised their two now-grown daughters there. "I had no problem moving into Frank's house. I know how much family history took place here, and I wanted to be respectful of that. Before she passed away, his wife was a good friend of mine," explains Lynn.
Instead of living full-time in the house, as Frank previously did, the couple call Boston's Beacon Hill their permanent residence. "But Duxbury is definitely not a summer home. It's a second home and a family base. We move here in April, spend weekends and all the holidays here, and stay far past the end of summer," says Lynn, principal of Lynn Dale Events. "There is plenty of room for Frank's and my children, his grandchildren, and for friends. We love to entertain. It's all parties, all the time."
Pomeroy got it. "The design doesn't take itself too seriously," he says, noting the high-octane pumpkin walls in the dining room, as well as the living room's insouciant Billy Baldwinesque avocado linen slipper chairs and informal ikat draperies. "I walked a tightrope between balancing the age of the house—choosing only things I felt were appropriate for its vintage—and adding unexpected pattern and color," notes the designer.
The ikat curtain fabric, for example, "hits just the right note. It's stylish, fresh, and bold—but classic," he observes. Its lavender, apricot, beige, and daffodil palette also spans enough of the spectrum to integrate Frank's fine collection of Hudson River School oil paintings. "What wonderful inspiration," Pomeroy says of the collection. "These 19th-century paintings share a sensibility with the 19th-century architec-ture. As a passionate collector, Frank was adamant about making his art the focal point."
By swapping a smaller painting above the mantel for one with heftier scale, then sandwiching it between English hurricane lamps, Pomeroy dramatized the living room fireplace. Then he streamlined the wall to increase attention to the art by ripping out distracting built-ins that flanked the fireplace. "But houses of this age inherently have a shortage of storage, so we added a wonderful breakfront to meet that need. It also was a great opportunity to introduce some strength and architectural impact. The Gothic nature of the breakfront's fretwork was also a jumping-off point we referenced elsewhere, such as on some of the fabrics."
The breakfront's shimmery gold-leaf glass doors inject a lightness that plays into one of Pomeroy's favorite design devices. "That juggling of light and dark is something I try to do in all my work. It creates a more unexpected space." Another light note is struck with a ribbed-barrel side table finished in gold leaf. "It's a good balance to the room's classic elements," the designer observes.
He updated the window's conversation area by reinventing an old tuxedo sofa with a single long cushion "reinforcing that modern sensibility." A long, lean ebony custom coffee table with an almost palpable Zen aura underscores the sofa's newfound sleekness. "Now a clean line flows all around the spaces," he says.
Pomeroy knew when to grease the wheel instead of struggling to reinvent it. A pair of fauteuils already in Frank's family look fresh with a new dark finish and light-hearted upholstery. Traditional side tables welcome the 21st century in the same dark, modern finish. Even Lynn's curvaceous Asian planters are reinvented as stools covered in apricot moiré.
"We cut down the legs and finished them with a beige glaze that shows the marmalade-colored crackle coming through," Pomeroy explains. "Now they provide additional seating while echoing the room's other Asian elements."
As livable as the living room is, the master bedroom is "ethereal," says Lynn. "Waking up, we can watch the sky change colors and change the color of the room."
Even so, her favorite space—and really the heart of the home—is the dining room, the hub of all those family holiday dinners and parties with friends. "It's a show-stopper," states Pomeroy. "Lynn wanted it to sparkle, so we took a long time to find a chandelier with the right scale and tone. This one is sophisticated and sparkly, but not too serious."
Lynn's favorite furnishing, a tall 18th-century Asian chest, is in the dining room. "This piece appeals to the romantic in me. I can imagine a ship's captain spotting it on a voyage and saying, 'I'm taking that home for the missus!'"
If the design philosophy wielded throughout the house had to be distilled into one reductive example, look no further than the dining room's pumpkin walls. "I think they're a kind of bold statement you don't really expect in a house this age," says Lynn. "For me, the color is reflective of the sun when it goes down over the marsh."
Which is to say, even this bold color is ultimately appropriate, like the overall design—a taut face-lift, neither pinched nor plastic, that avoids appearing disingenuous. Instead, it's a genuine celebration of a fresh start—and a happy 200th birthday.

Daffodil-hued walls offer a warm foil for a collection of 19th-century American paintings. Asian elements, including a scallop-edged chinoiserie coffee table, add to the modern sensibility. The au courant avocado hue of the linen slipper chairs is repeated on lamps flanking the sofa. A gold-leaf reproduction breakfront adds architectural presence.

A drum pendant shade above the antique table adds an unexpected touch with its animal print. Windsor chairs are refreshed with blue lacquer, which also graces the back of the built-in cupboard.

Angling the bed proved an easy solution to a previously awkward arrangement. A cool palette begins with a subtle grid-patterned carpet and continues to the walls and ceiling. Re-covered in a subtle paisley from Schumacher, the comfy club chair and ottoman are good to go. A silver-leaf Century Furniture bench covered in an Osborne & Little fabric by Nina Campbell is as feminine as the window treatments fabricated from Lee Jofa's silk and linen "Enchantment." The palette continues into the bath.
