Entrancing Entryways

Designer Ridley Wills added a formal Georgian-style portico with a period-appropriate gallery on top to give the house the grand entrance it deserves.

He restored the original six-panel door, sidelights, and transom, and built a new brick landing, and married it to the rebuilt brick walkway. Six off-the-shelf redwood columns on box bases were used to support the rectangular portico roof, which has a custom-made redwood balustrade.
COST: About $25,000
