Weatherford Design is an established design and restoration company that focuses on the aesthetic development, conservation, restoration, and replication of both interior and exterior architectural elements for both private and public historic buildings. 

Our preservation projects begin with thorough research and survey work which in many cases leads to established preservation documentation such as historic structure reports or condition assessments. In turn, this research facilitates appropriate replication or repair of historic properties. 

Our furniture and architectural component design process also begins with thorough research before each piece is designed and created, or in the case of conservation projects, preserved or restored.

Examples of recent projects include:

• Extensive Historic Structure Reports (HSRs) for several late nineteenth century main street buildings.
• Design, research and replication of historically correct rolling louvered shutters for a circa 1836 inn.
• Design and creation of a mahogany Biedermeier-style buffet for a Texas law office.
• Microscopic wood identification and material analysis on a circa 1844 log house.
• Column restoration for a circa 1892 Queen Ann house museum.
• Reconstruction of missing cabriole feet on a late 18th century Louis XV provincial armoire.
• An historic structure report for an 1840s Greek Revival home.
• Window sash reconstruction for a circa 1870 mill.
• Research, design and replication of period appropriate cabinetry and furniture for an early 20th century kitchen.
• Restoration of interior woodwork and pews within an historic Presbyterian Church sanctuary.
• Timber frame restoration within a mid 1860s bank barn.
• Classical to postmodern vanity design development for a major American cabinet manufacturer.

Weatherford Design also embraces professional project collaboration among those who specialize in the design and historic preservation arts.  Our services, therefore, include the option of working with many talented design and preservation associates including: architects, museum curators, historic carpenters, licensed builders, metal artists, and plaster, masonry and painting experts.

We invite you to browse this site and explore examples of our work.  Your questions are always welcome.
