Renovations

Here's a preview of the (almost finished) entry, scroll for more below...

GALLERY 78 is situated in a Queen Anne Revival structure built in 1900. 11 coats of paint were found on the building, with colours ranging from grey, green, ochre, terra cotta and beige. These are the "before" pictures taken May 23, 2007.

June 15, 2007 Matthew Smith, historic building conservator, and his crew diligently removed paint (mostly with the use of heat guns) and replaced boards and shingles, as necessary.
