Removal of porch has greatly accelerated its deterioration by allowing water to damage façade, windows sills, etc. Early in the 20th century, the restoration and re-creation of Colonial Williamsburg, one of the largest such projects in the nation, was championed by the W.A.R. Goodwin and patriarch John D. Rockefeller, Jr., along with his wife, Abby to celebrate the patriots and the early history of the United States.

c. 1880 Carpenter Gothic Revival cottage-Elmwood
Carpenter Gothic is an American architectural style for an application of Gothic Revival architectural detailing and picturesque massing applied to wooden structures. The carpenter-built vernacular architecture is based upon picturesque improvisation s and emphasized charm and quaintness rather than fidelity to received models. The genre received its impetus from the publication by Alexander Jackson Davis, Rural Residences and from detailed plans and elevations in publications by Andrew Jackson Downing.

Mrs. Sale’s Cedrus deodara-37’ high and wide, 55’ at base (photo from 1935)The specific epithet and English vernacular name derive from the Sanskrit term devadāru, which means "wood of the gods", a compound of deva (god) and dāru (wood, etym. tree)). It is worshipped in India as sacred.
![Page 55: Historic homes & gardens of shelby county 1936](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103017/557d300fd8b42a7a608b50c9/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
It is widely grown as an ornamental tree, planted in parks and large gardens for its drooping foliageForests full of Devadaru trees were the favorite abode of ancient Indian sages devoted to Hindu god Shiva. To please Lord Shiva, the sages used to perform very difficult tapasya (meditation) in deodar forests. There is regular mention of Darukavana, meaning a forest of deodars, as a sacred place in the ancient Hindu epics ..
![Page 56: Historic homes & gardens of shelby county 1936](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103017/557d300fd8b42a7a608b50c9/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Deodara is in great demand as building material because of its durability, rot-resistant character and fine, close grain.General cultivation is limited to areas with mild winters, with trees frequently killed by temperatures below about −25 °C, limiting it to hardiness zones 8 and warmer for reliable growth. The species has been decimated in US due to a blight similar to American chestnut.
