The University of Wisconsin recently completed the restoration and rehabilitation of Olin House, which was built as a private residence in 1911, and currently functions as the UW-Madison Chancellor's home. As a sub-consultant to Architecture Network, Inc. of Madison, Cornerstone Preservation undertook historical research, which led to the identification of original features and an understanding of modifications that occurred over time. Cornerstone Preservation also prepared a written project overview, which included a historical narrative, preservation plan and summary of the work completed for the review of the Wisconsin SHPO.

The link provided leads to an article published by the UW before the project began. The piece states its intentions for the work.
