Her projects include a c.1790 Colonial Saltbox, a c.1860 Greek Revival Colonial, and a c.1753 Stone Bankhouse with French Huguenot influence that she and her husband saved from demolition and are currently restoring (with its Letter of Eligibility for the State and National Register of Historic Places due to its “extreme rarity of form and style”, according to the NJ State Historic Preservation Office).
