Painting to Protect

Historic and natural resource proponents use paint to protect theirprojects

 Chamberlin House, Concord

A new coat of paint wraps up a project by the Woman's Club of Concord on its historicheadquarters building, the 1886 Chamberlin House. The project, supported by a $60,740LCHIP grant, also included repointing its tall brick chimneys, repairing dormer slates andattic windows, and repairing deteriorated exterior wood trim and clapboards. Now, thehouse and its delightful architectural features enliven Pleasant Street in downtownConcord, and the building has a new lease on life. Click here to read more about theClub and the house.
