Current Projects
This beautiful historical landmark was built in 1884, and as you can imagine, there is a lot of preserving and restoring that needs to be done. To help us achieve this, we have prioritized projects into categories, based on several factors such as safety, damage control, long-term, ongoing and of course, a wish list.
If you are a homeowner, you understand what goes into repairing and maintaining your home. To preserve and restore a building of this magnitude, we are asking for help from the community, historians, and architectural followers alike, so that future generations can enjoy this historical landmark as well. Some of our recent repairs and updates are noted below.
These are just a few of the items that need to be restored or repaired.
Original to the building, this beautiful stained glass has suffered water damage over the years and is in need of repair.
As you can see by the close-up of the upper part of the window, the casement, molding, and surrounding plaster are damaged.
It is evident in this picture that the plaster at the bottom of the casement, near the top of the unique chair rail, is also in need of repair.
These are some of the priority projects to restore the building to its original beauty, and bring the building up to code.
In the Fall of 2024, after the old knob & tube wiring was de-energized, old lighting was replaced; all made possible by private and member donations.
To access the old wiring, panels throughout the building, like this, had to be temporarily removed and painstakingly reattached to its original beauty.
