Earlham Hall has recently undergone extensive resorations conducted by the UEA. The hall is home to the UEA's Law School. Gareth Thomas, Director of Law CLinic, Karen Morely, faculty Manager and Professor Peter Kunzlik, Head of Law School.

ROWAN MANTELL. Thursday, June 5, 2014 3:59 PM

Although it sits in one of Norwichs public parks, many passers-by barely notice historic Earlham Hall, half-hidden by trees. For three years it has been shrouded in sheeting and scaffolding too, but now a remarkable restoration is complete writes ROWAN MANTELL.

To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.

Step inside Earlham Hall from the gardens and you are entering a country mansion. Surrounded by parkland it has the hushed, polished feel of a stately home or country house hotel. But from October it will once again be alive with hundreds of students, flowing from classrooms to common rooms and the lecture hall to admin offices.

It is the oldest part of the University of East Anglia, and home to its law school. But centuries before it was a university department in a municipal park, its elegant arched elevations and tall star-topped chimneys, were a lavish family home for the landed gentry.

The huge oaked-panelled, ornately-ceilinged great hall was at the historic heart of the house and it is beside its sturdy southern door that, three years ago, the wall began bowing and cracking and an immediate emergency evacuation was ordered.

That could have been the end of Earlham Hall, home to generations of the remarkable Gurney family, but this summer the law department is moving back into the three floors and almost innumerable corridors, staircases and rooms, after more than 8m-worth of restoration.

The 18th century books are back in the library. Undergraduate and graduate students each have their own large and ornate common rooms, which were once alive with the rustle of rich fabrics, rattle of fine china and chatter of Norfolk high society. On the top floor, bedrooms and dressing rooms, nurseries and storerooms, are filling up with the desks, filing cabinets and bookshelves of academic offices.

Three years after it looked as if the history of this hall, half-hidden among the trees of a Norwich public park, could be over, the beautiful listed building has been revitalised.

Hidden gem brought back to full glory

Beth Salem, the historic Reasoner family home at U.S. 301 and State Road 70 in Oneco, is to be demolished for the site of a RaceTrac gas station. The Reasoner family said they tried unsuccessfully to find a buyer for the house, which has become too costly for them to maintain.

MANATEE COUNTY - Beth Salem, the historic Reasoner family home at State Road 70 and U.S. 301, is to be demolished for a RaceTrac gas station.

Ward Reasoner, a descendant of the Reasoner brothers who founded Royal Palm Nurseries in Oneco more than a century ago, told the Manatee County Commission on Thursday that the 1896 structure became too costly to maintain.

It's just not economically feasible, Reasoner said.

The home is one of the 10 oldest structures in Manatee County and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The family offered the two-story home for $95,000 to anyone interested in relocating it.

No one offered to do it, Reasoner said.

The house is so large even to move it next door will be a substantial amount of money, said Cathy Slusser, historic resources director for the Clerk of the Circuit Court's Office. ...It makes me very sad.

It's starting to deteriorate, Mark Barnebey, Reasoner's attorney, said.

The Reasoners spent about $300,000 a decade ago to restore the house, which was once located in a isolated, rural area but now borders a Sam's Club and is across a six-lane highway from a Walmart.

The Paradise Homestead, which had undergone a near $1 million restoration to reopen in 2010, was reduced to ashes and rubble after the fire on May 23 but a firewall saved the bedroom wing from total devastation.

Ms Miller was in Invercargill on the day of the fire and first received an email informing her of a 6am lightning strike which caused a surge of electricity in the homestead's power system, resulting in a shock so violent pictures were jolted off walls.

Power to the house was lost and so, too, was the phone line.

But that was manageable.

''You learn pretty quickly that if there's lightning strikes you can't be talking on the phone,'' Ms Miller said.

But later, word came that a fire was ripping throughthe 131-year-old category one Heri tage New Zealand-listed homestead.

The property had been bought by new immigrant Hugh Miller in 1949 and remained in the Miller family until his son, David (Marijke's father), died in 1998 and the Paradise Trust was established to run the property.

''I just felt so helpless,''Ms Miller said.

''I knew that there would be no saving it because of the length of time that it takes to actually get anybody up here and being such an old building.''

TheHomeMag is a national brand magazine offering high-end homeowners easy access to quality home improvement services via a high-quality, high-gloss magazine and multi-market web services delivered to their doors via the USPS and the web. Now, 60,000 of the finest Colorado Springs and El Paso County homes have joined 5.4 million homeowners in 34 other US markets receiving TheHomeMag for information and visual inspiration of home improvement projects.

We bought our very first home, an old Victorian needing restoration, in downtown Colorado Springs in 1992, so it feels especially good to be here, noted Russell and Claire Lindsay, owners and publishers of the El Paso County franchise, about the expansion.

Limiting the nature of the ads to over 200 different kinds of home improvement businesses including kitchens, bath, closets, home additions and remodeling to name a few, provides breadth of choice, but does not clutter the decision-making process with noise from unrelated advertisers.

The renovation of Wrigley Field will take four years to complete.(Chicago Cubs)

CHICAGO -- The Cubs are, indeed, moving forward with the renovation and restoration of 100-year-old Wrigley Field.

Less than a week after Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts sent a letter and video to fans telling them the club is done negotiating with the rooftop owners and it's time to "put the team and fans first," the Cubs on Tuesday unveiled a revised plan with additional outfield signage, an expanded home clubhouse and the relocating of the home and visitors' bullpens to underneath the right-field bleachers.

"We can't delay any longer," Ricketts said in the video. "The time to build a winner is now."

The new proposal, which will go before the Commission on Chicago Landmarks on June 5, includes four additional signs of up to 650 square feet, plus another 2,400-square-foot video board in right field. Another LED board will also be added in left field.

In addition, the previously-approved left-field video board will be 3,950 square feet instead of 4,500.

The Cubs have also adjusted the design modifications for the clubhouse. Currently, Cubs players utilize approximately 11,000 square feet, and the original expansion plan increased the clubhouse size to 19,000 square feet. The new plan further expands the clubhouse to 30,000 square feet and it will be located beneath the new outdoor plaza.

The visitors' clubhouse will also be expanded, and the home and visitors' bullpens will be moved from the field to an area under the expanded Budweiser Bleachers.

An additional club space down the third-base line and an auditorium with room to seat 200 will also be built.
