In Anoatok and neighboring houses, Bevins, Johnston, and others are obviously in a kind of extended conversation with each other, exploring the ways in which traditional elements can be configured in novel ways. A recent renovation continues this exploration with a new entry portico and other changes to the facade, mostly in keeping with the sense of the original design.
