As winter approaches, carpenters, masons, and roofers are busily working to complete repairs on the Mary Baker Eddy Historic House in Lynn, Massachusetts. As you’ll see in the latest image gallery, many clapboards have been repaired or replaced, and primed front and back before being installed. New sections of corner pilasters, fascia boards, soffits, and brackets have been installed where there was serious rot.
When the carpenters have completed 50% of their work it will be time for the painters to begin applying a coat of primer and at least one finished coat of paint before the site is closed for the winter. The project will resume in the spring when the team puts the final coat of paint on the house and finishes the vestibule.
