Meeting with the Argo's Inn owner
Today I meet with the owner of the Argo's Inn the owner (A. Smith), and the man who planned the restoration of the house. Walking into the Argos was incredible, it's a perfect mix of modern and historic home styles and decor. I sat down with Smith in the sitting area, and he told me about the the history of the house, and the uses it has been put to. The houses history was interesting to listen too. By the time Smith got the house it had been divided into apartments then office spaces. We went through photos of before and after his renovations. Hearing him describe each room being restored to its formal glory gave me lots of ideas for the Beckett house. The Argos had lots of the same features as my house, as well as the same rooms. Getting a tour of the house left me almost speechless, the rooms and how he restored them, but also brought a modern twist in inspired me. Seeing the house so like the Beckett house become something so beautiful was such a great opportunity. I am glad Smith was kind enough to show me his completed restoration.
