A post on the Hudson Valley House Parts Instagram page, indicates that a crew from the Newburgh company have been working at Richard Gere's former 1930's home in New Canaan, CT.

According to Realtor.com, this home built in 1938 sits on more than 31 acres and featured 6 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. With 8,000 square feet of living space I am certain there is much to be salvaged.
