A New Face on an Old Building

As many know by now, the town has recently moved an old building to a new location to make room for a larger parking lot. I was just contacted once again by the town manager to do an analysis on the old paint chips to determine what the original colors were. Preliminary analysis indicates that the siding was a medium green with dark yellow trim.
Work begins next week to remove the plastic siding to determine the condition of the original wooden siding. It appears that the front siding will need complete replacement, and lots of sections on the other sides will need replacement. It will be interesting to see what shows up in the form of missing trim and details after the siding is removed. Keep watching!

Here is the building in it's new location. A former 1880's period beauty, shamefully wrapped in plastic siding, plastic soffits, and plastic shutters. Hello, dumpster!
