Sylvesters

The renovation of the landmark second empire style home of Sylvester Graham, the creator of the original health food craze and the Graham Cracker, included renovations to the original dining rooms, creation of a new dining room and entry porch, and a second story addition. All of the work preserves the feel of an historic home throughout the building.

The brief from the owners was to make the atmosphere of the building reflect Sylvester Graham and his famous cracker: comforting, casual, wholesome, and sweet. To accomplish this we used dark wood, light colors, and varied seating options with both a cozy café with window seating and a relaxed main dining room.
