Flashback Friday!
Today we are highlighting a project we completed in 2022 after two phases of Restoration. Annaburg Manor was originally built in 1892 and was a summer home for Robert Porter, a successful Brewer and entrepreneur in Alexandria, Virginia. This home, in Manassas, Virginia was constructed using only the finest materials and even boasted early air conditioning for those hot and humid Virginia summers. One of our favorite things to do at Durable is to bring a building back to its former glory. That’s just what we did with Annaburg Manor, returning the roof from many iterations of asphalt shingles to Vermont slate and peeling off many layers of paint from the stone and brick in order to let this beauty breathe. To mitigate some of the damage caused by painting the masonry, we recoated the brownstone with a vapor permeable masonry coating that works with the stone, not against it. Now Annaburg looks much more like it did 100 years ago!

Why Do Actors Continue to Collaborate with Wes Anderson?
This was his first film set in France, and the first produced as an anthology. But Wes Anderson’s 10th film, “The French Dispatch,” was made in a very similar way, and had a similar cast, as did many of the features that preceded it.
