🏡 Preserving History in 3D: Pointknown’s Work on Water Street, Marion, MA 🏡

This project on Water Street in Marion, MA, a property steeped in history. Originally built in 1886, this Shingle-style residence was once the summer retreat of President Grover Cleveland in the 1890s.

To document and model this estate, which includes the main house, pool house, carriage house, and surrounding grounds, we employed a range of advanced technologies:

🔹 Mobile Laser Scanning – Captured precise measurements of the entire property
🔹 Drone Photography – Provided high-resolution aerial imagery for context and roof geometry
🔹 360° Photos & Video – Delivered immersive views to enhance documentation and design

From this data, we produced highly accurate 3D models in multiple formats, ensuring flexibility for architects, designers, and preservationists:

✅ Revit Model – Detailed BIM model for renovation and preservation planning
✅ 3D DWG Files – For CAD-based workflows and interoperability
✅ SketchUp Model – Easy visualization and conceptual design

Marion, once known as Sippican, has been a sought-after summer retreat since the late 19th century, drawing influential figures like President Cleveland. This project ensures that the property's legacy is preserved, studied, and revitalized for future generations.

At Pointknown, we bridge the past and the future by using modern technology to document, preserve, and transform historic spaces.
