Scott is Willow Bank’s dedicated renovator and restaurateur, bringing history back to life one building at a time. His journey with Willow Bank Heritage Village began in 2009, and he has since become a full-time member of the team, playing a vital role in preserving the village’s character and charm.
With a passion for restoring old buildings and artifacts, Scott takes pride in maintaining authenticity. He focuses on returning structures to how they once were, carefully preserving their original style and story. His work often involves recycling and reusing materials, ensuring that each restoration stays true to its roots while also being mindful of sustainability.
Scott frequently works with macrocarpa and Lawson cypress, selecting these timbers for their durability and traditional appeal. His craftsmanship can be seen throughout the village in the buildings he has restored.
His creative inspiration comes from the imaginative worlds of Disney Land and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which influence his approach to storytelling through restoration and his ability to bring a sense of magic and nostalgia into every project.
If you’re hoping to find Scott at Willow Bank, start by checking the workshop—if he’s not there, just ask around to see which building he’s currently working on. Chances are, he’ll be hard at work breathing new life into another piece of history.
