Meet Dean Snell, owner of The Restoration Works at 16 Rogers Street. However, actually meeting Dean is not quite as easy as wanting to meet him. First you must find the entrance to the building (it’s on the side) and then climb a steep staircase up three stories to his wonderfully aloof loft that is home to his office, workspace and storage facility that is chock full of antique furniture awaiting his skillful hand.
Dean has owned and operated The Restoration Works for about 18 years, first in a garage, then his home and for the past 15 years or so in his third floor sanctuary on Rogers Street.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Cool! I always wondered what that place looked like inside.

Ok, how will that big table be taken out (how did it get up there?) It sounds like a trip just to get there in person.

The table isn’t quite as long as it appears. Photo taken with a wide angle lens.
There is a freight elevator for large pieces.
Dean refinished a 1950ish breakfront for us and did a fabulous job.
