The
Windows are Done!
The windows have all been re-installed at Liberty Hall,
including the Palladian window that is the focal point of the
facade. The freshly painted shutters have also gone back up.
Now Liberty Hall presents itself proudly to the world.
The next
step in the restoration will include repairs to interior walls and
the completion of a door between the parlor and back bedchamber (an
original feature of the house). This summer, we hope to
install wallpaper and other furnishings to the parlor, creating
something Margaretta would recognize and
love!
