Proper kiln drying, established grading and precision milling are imperative. Goodwin Company’s specialty in fine antique wood was a perfect fit for the interior reconstruction. The project also required extensive exterior decking, siding and stairs. George Goodwin, founder of Goodwin Company, drew on his close relationships with private plantation owners, enabling him to hand select lightning struck old-growth Longleaf pine to ensure historical accuracy. “Goodwin was a critical component of the project, identifying various woods to ensure an accurate restoration,” Goodwin Company adapted the same milling style used in the original structure, replicating paneling, decking and other elements to the exact specifications used in the original 1800s design. The Depot was restored to the Department of Interior standards and will receive the LEED-Gold certification (http://www.usgbc.org/ “Goodwin is proud to provide such an important commodity for this historically accurate ‘green’ renovation,” For more information about the FTHP annual awards, visit www.floridatrust.org.
