T he Showcase Holiday front cover is a beautiful watercolor of the home of Mr. Vincent Giordano who lives in Long Branch, NJ. The House, considered to be a Queen Anne Cottage, is by no means considered a cottage by today’s standards. The house has over 3,500 sq feet. Built in 1869, it sits across from 7 Presidents Beach Park in the north end of Long Branch. This area, once known as The Reservation, was the site of Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show and might be one of the last remaining Indian houses. During renovation, old feed sacks and oats were found in the walls. Restoring the house has become a passion for Vincent. The biggest challenge is recreating its former glory architecturally, as well as décor, while making it a comfortable home with modern conveniences. Vincent dedicates this watercolor in memory of his Father Vincent Giordano Sr. 1937 – 2011. A true renaissance man who taught him about craftsmanship, detailing, design, color and decor.
