Construction began on Montpelier in 1764 by James Madison's father. The duPont family doubled the house size mostly between 1901-1903. The restoration of James Madison's Montpelier took place from January 2004 to September 2008 and involved removal of the additions the duPonts had made to the building. The architectural salvage was kept in storage until April 2011, at which time it was brought to Salvagewrights Ltd. to be sold on consignment.
