Timothy Robinson has made a living out of preserving the neglected abodes of past generations. For more them 25 years, he has been saving historic buildings from demolition and making them fit for people to live in, tour and appreciate older styles of architecture and ways of life.
The 50-year-old has been so successful that he is ready to close out his Heartland Restoration business. But before he moves on to other projects, he is hoping to find a Rappahannock County setting for a historic log home with ties to Western folk figure Kit Carson.
Robinson’s business is based in Madison County, but his first restoration job was in the Town of Washington in 1978, around the time the Inn at Little Washington was starting up.
“When I came to Little Washington, I loved the historic beauty of it and the connection to George Washington,” he said.
His first restoration job was a Ginger Bread House owned by Fredette Eagle at 539 Gay Street, where th6 road curves into Wheeler Street.
