Picardie meticulously restored all 220 wood windows at the historic Richardson Memorial Hall at , home of . We began with a survey of existing conditions, followed by labeling and removing sashes and trims. We took the components to our millwork facility, where we assessed and reconstructed each component. Using rot-resistant wood, we preserved the original mortise and tenon joinery technique and salvaged the existing glass where possible. We are proud to be part of this fabulous preservation project.

Picardie is proud to sponsor the 2023 Holiday Home Tour by 🎄 Visit the tour this weekend, Dec. 9-10, and view Picardie’s intricate work to restore McGehee’s Main Building at 2343 Prytania Street. Originally the Bradish Johnson House, it was built in 1872 as a private family residence and was acquired by McGehee in 1929. Picardie's work preserved the historic integrity and detailed ornamentation of this New Orleans landmark. To begin, Picardie surveyed the building to assess damage, develop a scope of work, and match the original historic detail. Picardie then replaced the millwork, including windows, stairs, porches, and components. Picardie built 18 columns, 36 newel posts, 600 spindles, louvered wood shutters, and the railing assembly; replaced floor decking; and restored the original cast iron capitals. In addition, Picardie restored around 40 wood-frame windows and re-leveled the framing of the porch and decks. This gorgeous project, completed with .build , began in December 2022.
