On September 20, 2017, Edna Lockwood's existing topsides were lifted by crane to sit atop her new hull so shipwrights can begin to marry the two pieces and continue her historic restoration.
"This is a restoration of the original log home that the client’s great-great-grandfather built with his own hands, with the assistance of itinerant crafstmen, when he moved to Texas in 1856. This vintage structure consists of two cabins (pens) separated by an open passageway (dog-run or dogtrot), with a continuous gable roof covering both cabins and the passageway between them. The porch extends across the entire front of the house and, the passage between the two pens, was enclosed by screens. A lean-to shed, was constructed at the rear of each cabin for a kitchen and bathroom. This type of shed was often an addition to these 19th century Texas log homes. The structure was disassembled and moved to the family ranch near Tyler, TX. and was completed in late summer of 2009." - from Chambers Architects
Showing restoration of the corner rexine panels on which the white paint had crazed and cracked. I removed the paint with hand tools and not a chemical remover to save damage to the Rexine. I thought they were metal panels until I delved into them. It took a few hours to remove the paint but was safer and worth the effort. Now primed and waiting a top coat of old english white

I don't know what this is or will be, but it's having its facade restored to the original set in place by Spanish architects. This building was down by the Quay and the majority of buildings there were built by the Spanish in one era or another.
An interesting thing to note about the legacy of the Spanish is the language. Cubans do speak Spanish, but their own dialect of it. Unlike natural Spanish, the Cubans don't have a 'v' sound and so they actually spell and pronounce Havana as Habana. Same goes for the word for beer in Spanish, Cerveza, said like Ser-betha.

History
Restoration House was originally two medieval buildings (1454 and 1502–22) with a space between.
They were joined together in 1640-1660 (tree ring data from roof) by inserting a third building between the two, to create a larger house.
The first owner of the completed house was Henry Clerke, a lawyer and Rochester MP. Clerke caused further works in 1670, the refacing of the entrance facade, the Great Staircase and other internal works.
The house was then bought by William Bockenham. It was owned by Stephen T. Aveling in the late 19th century, and he wrote a history of the house which was published in Vol. 15 of "Archaeologia Cantiana".
The house was purchased for £270,000[7] by the English entertainer Rod Hull, in 1986, to save it from being turned into a car park; and he then spent another £500,000 restoring it.
It was taken by the Receiver in 1994 to cover an unpaid tax bill.
The current owners over the past decade have uncovered decoration schemes from the mid 17th century, which reveal the fashionable taste of the period, much influenced by the fashions on the continent.
Charles Dickens
According to the biographer John Forster, the novelist Charles Dickens, who lived nearby, used Restoration House as a model for Miss Havisham's Satis House in Great Expectations; the name "Satis House" belongs to the house where Rochester MP, Sir Richard Watts, entertained Queen Elizabeth I - it is now the administrative office of King's School, Rochester.
*** restoration work May 2022 to remove scratches etc.
DMS686 unloads at the bus stop at the 'Green Gate' (now McDonalds). The Victor Hair Artist still sported the same sign over 37 years later and I believe the wonderfully titled 'Fags an' Mags' still trades under that name (although at this time the full signage said "Fags and Mags for the Recorder" (this being the local paper)). What's the Ford Anglia doing parked up on the pavement?
Update 27/12/15. After over 40 years, the 'Victor hair artist' yellow sign disappeared sometime during 2015 and was replaced by an 'Ask 4 Property' sign. Fags and Mags still remains (although with a different name sign).
This was taken on a Sunday. If my memory serves me well, the 169 and 169C alternated thus serving both Claybury - The Glade and Claybury Broadway.

Just a quickie restoration here. Adjusted it in levels. Used the color picker to select what I thought was the original color of her hair, skin & dress. I then hand tinted each to remove bluish tint. Of course I used the healing brush to remove most of the spots/splotches & the blur tool set to 25% where I thought I needed it on her face.
I spent about 15 minutes on it.
