Restoration progress continues

(3/2) John Mellow, Director of Restoration, writes,

“Thanks to some very mild temperatures lately, our work on interior restoration has continued and yesterday we reached another milestone. The Operator/Agent’s office now has tongue and groove material installed on all walls around five windows, one door and the ticket window. This has been no small task given the condition of the walls when we first started removing the old wood. Yesterday morning… (we worked all day and…) made the last join in the corner on the east side of the bay window.

“My thanks go out to all who have made completion of the walls in this room a reality, especially Ken, Joe and Stan. They are a great team to work with.

“Next comes the interior trim around all windows and doors. Just a heads up, we will need more funds to purchase most of these materials unless a sponsor is found.”SAM_2166
