A New Chapter Begins Where the Sidewalk Ends…
Children’s book author, poet and songwriter Shel Silverstein lived in Key West for many years. While he passed away in 1999, his legacy lives on through some of his most popular works including Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic and The Giving Tree.
In 2017, Hurricane Irma blew over two trees in the front of the home that Silverstein lived in for years. They crushed the front of the house and the home was condemned.
The current owners engaged Scott Hutton of Kanga Construction to completely demolish the home and then rebuild an exact replica. Goodwin milled 1800sf of building reclaimed Legacy Heart Pine Vertical 3-1/4″ flooring for the restoration of the home. We also produced the stair treads. Take a look:
We will be posting more photos of this exciting project as we receive them. In the meantime, enjoy this very well-articulated story of how this re-build transpired:
