#3 Cambridge 2005
SEASON 27 • 2005
This 1950 mid-century modern—or “George’s
house”—was the dark horse, surprising us
with its vote tally. But the challenges the house
posed, and the techniques and technologies
used to remedy them, landed it a top-three slot.
“The unique design and techniques that the team
used, and the amazing homeowner, made that
season really fun. Plus, I enjoyed seeing a challenge
for Roger.” —TYLER TOMASEK, LINCOLN, NE
“Expanding the radiant heat to the garage,
driveway, and walkway was amazing!”
—CHRIS DOUGHMAN, MERRIMACK, NH
“Wonderful interpretation of modern, with great
details, amazing layout, and inventive ways to
implement the updates.” —MICHAEL, VIA INSIDER
#2 Carlisle
SEASON 26 • 2004
For the show’s 25th anniversary, This Old House
spent an entire season renovating an 1849
farmstead. If your votes are any indication, you
loved every minute of it.
“It was a huge project with so many talented people
involved, plus it had all different types of renovation,
from the newly built master suite to remodeling the
barn for a dramatic, livable space that turned out to
be fantastic.” —JON MONTGOMERY, WEST UNION, WV
“Honestly, I’ve found myself rewatching Carlisle
from start to finish twice a year since it aired.”
—JAMES HAUN, KNOXVILLE, TN
“Seeing the barn interior made into living quarters,
rebuilding the breezeway, the stone quartz
flooring—watching the Carlisle project gave me so
many ideas.” —PATRICIA, VIA INSIDER
