| Paperhanger Bill Archibald provides an FAQ of his knowledge of wallcoverings as he has installed them in Eastern MA since 1972. Growing up in Dedham and living in various towns in the greater Boston Mass area, Bill has learned about the tricky and unique situations presented by the new and older homes in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Middlesex Counties, Massachusetts. He has studied architecture and thoroughly enjoys working in these New England homes. Recently he was informed that the first wallpaper installed in colonial United States was in Dedham, MA, Bill's hometown. How fittingly ironic is that. |
