From The Build Show.
In this episode of the Build Show Podcast, Matt and Brent dive into the fascinating Italian Revival project—an extraordinary 120-year-old mansion in Fort Worth. Together, they explore the craftsmanship, history, and challenges of restoring this landmark home, originally built with commercial-grade masonry and even a bank vault inside. Brent shares insights on durability, traditional building methods, and how to honor the home’s legacy while bringing it to modern standards. The conversation also highlights lessons from past remodels, the importance of air gaps and masonry techniques, and how today’s builders can create structures that last generations. Plus, Matt and Brent preview Build Show Live, where attendees will get a behind-the-scenes tour of this stunning restoration.
