Lifting the Nursery Roof(full size gallery)
In 1965, Rector Fall reconstructed the old outdoor kitchen behind the Rectory and converted it into a one-room structure with wood-stove piped into the chimney. This became the art studio of Mrs. Fall and is now our nursery building. Originally there was a shed there.
The first of upgrades – a new roof during the week of Dec. 16, 2019. The work on the roof was donated. It was expected that the outside would be renovated. However, the outside was in worse shape than expected.
On February 5, 2020 the walls of the building had to be torn down due to old termite damage that had dangerously weakened the wooden walls. The back wall had completely rotted away.
The new roof has been saved and the Vestry will determine next steps in the repair.
