The family, along with 11 Italian immigrant families, farmed the local area growing fruits and vegetables that were sold locally. These families hailed from the Piedmont region of Italy at the foot of the Alps and took quite a journey to reach Texas. Their early home has been moved almost 100 years after it was built, to its current location in 2002. The home is now in the care of the Butler Longhorn Museum and Heritage Park. The Ghirardi house has been completely restored and converted into the League City Italian Heritage Museum.<\/p>\n<p>A great deal of work and expert care went into restoring the property and part of the restoration process involved stripping away decades of paint, including lead paint, and <a href=\"https:\/\/certapro.com\/league-city\/residential-painting\/painting-services\/\">repairing and repainting<\/a> the exterior of the home. Watch as the pros from CertaPro Painters of League City and Galveston transform this very dated old farmhouse into &#8220;as new&#8221; condition as it makes its journey to an education center that reveals texas farm life from early in the last century.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/499687470\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Here is how the house looked before restoration work began.<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1875 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/before-painting-historic-house.png\" alt=\"historic Ghirardi House in league city Texas\" width=\"1200\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/before-painting-historic-house.png 1200w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/before-painting-historic-house-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/before-painting-historic-house-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/before-painting-historic-house-768x438.png 768w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/before-painting-historic-house-960x548.png 960w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/before-painting-historic-house-720x411.png 720w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/before-painting-historic-house-480x274.png 480w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/before-painting-historic-house-360x206.png 360w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/before-painting-historic-house-240x137.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Here is how it looked after restoration and complete repainting.<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1876 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/after-painting-historic-house.png\" alt=\"after repainting its now the Italian heritage museum of league city Texas\" width=\"1200\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/after-painting-historic-house.png 1200w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/after-painting-historic-house-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/after-painting-historic-house-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/after-painting-historic-house-768x438.png 768w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/after-painting-historic-house-960x548.png 960w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/after-painting-historic-house-720x411.png 720w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/after-painting-historic-house-480x274.png 480w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/after-painting-historic-house-360x206.png 360w, https:\/\/pub-9fc1f065f07e441b8f35365c774f09ae.r2.dev\/uploads\/sites\/1126\/2021\/01\/after-painting-historic-house-240x137.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If we can handle a transformation like this just imagine what we can do for your home!
