Isn't that the one in the harbor at Baltimore? A bunch of us tree guys got to check it out during the TCIA expo there a few years ago. Interesting link about Paul Revere starting the first US copper mill. His copper lasted over 100 years, the replacement copper lasted less than 50 years, then...

Idunno about the hanging support thing, especially anything attempting to support the limb from the side. I'd probably suggest putting a steel brace right in front of the corner of the house and then hide it with a big thick bush. That would be less intrusive than trying to create a big arch...
