Another beautiful summer day here in the West End of Portsmouth and another opportunity for a historic birdhouse.

Strawbery Banke is tidying up the grounds for the upcoming "250th Gala: An Evening of Food and Drink That Shaped the Nation," and West End Birdies will be playing our part. I'll be recreating and releasing two of the museum's most iconic houses for the event, beginning with the Jones house.

Sneak peek here; so, so much more still left to do!

And . . . second in the Strawbery Banke series, the Wheelwright House, a Georgian-style structure built circa 1780. Historically, it was the home of Captain John Wheelwright, a maritime captain, his wife Elizabeth, and their two children. Today, it serves as an interactive educational hub where the museum's culinary historians and costumed interpreters demonstrate traditional 18th-century hearth-cooking and food preservation techniques. Definitely one of my favorites.

The collection is available as:
• a large two-unit birdhouse
• a smaller single-unit birdhouse
• an indoor keepsake featuring integrated LED lighting

All five house designs are available in the Strawbery Banke gift shop. I’m incredibly proud to share this project and honored to help celebrate Portsmouth's history through these recreations.

From time to time, I've been asked to design a custom birdhouse using their existing home. This one will be a birthday suprise next month, so I'll keep its location a secret for now. It's definitely my most ambitious project to date. The original 1850s house has had so many additions over the years that recreating it was quite a challenge. Best, ever.
