Renovation Information

The architectural integrity of the building remains strong with very few changes to the original building. Two rear additions were added within years of the building construction and were modernized by 2004 with only the exterior timber construction remaining of the original northern addition. An open frame porch with 6 upright posts, brackets and a shed roof originally ran the length of the building on the main facade. The porch was altered between the 1920s and the 1940s. A new porch was constructed in 2002, and is similar in appearance to the original. Larger wood windows were installed in the gable ends between 1927 and 1938. The foundation and first floor floors were replaced in the early 1970s. Additional foundation work was completed by 2004 and the floors replaced with tongue and groove wood strip flooring. A sprinkler system was added in 1996.
