Arbor & Pergola Restored.

Although very expensive and challenging to complete, the 2011 restoration of the arbor and pergola inspired great admiration for Edward's construction skills. The robin's egg blue was selected from a variety of paint colors used periodically by the Spencers. During construction, the grape and wisteria vines were carefully protected and re-trained on the historically accurate arbor.
