Wallace House Under Wraps

If you have driven by the Wallace House during the past year you have seen the house with its scaffolding and protective covering. From roof to foundation, the 250 year old house has been undergoing a comprehensive exterior renovation.

The roof has been replaced, the foundation fortified and the chimneys reconstructed. The wood siding was brought to a workshop for its paint to be removed then three coats of linseed oil paint were applied. The siding will get additional coats of linseed oil paint as the boards are put back into place on the house. All of the windows have been removed and are undergoing a similar treatment.

This is an exciting period for everyone who cherishes this house and the tales of those who lived and visited here. We eagerly anticipate sharing the news soon about when the house will reopen to the public.
