Albany Town Hall Restoration Project 2010 The Albany Improvement Association would like to show you what your generous donations have allowed them to accomplish. Thank You!
Much work had to be done to restore this Albany Township Landmark.
repairs needed to be done
Attic of the building is pretty stable
A few extra supports were added to the attic to support the roof
The major damage was around the chimney where there had been a leak
Looks like there was water damage
And there was. Right where the chimney to the kitchen sits.
Pulling down the ceiling tiles the damage became evident
Timbers had to be replaced
This was a rather extensive job
The kitchen ceiling and the main room ceilings were replaced
Things are looking up (pun intended)
All the old wall paper has to go!
The stripping begins…
and continues….
and more stripping….
And more stripping….
Some of the walls were a bit crumbly but fixable.
And some hidden treasures were found under the wallpaper
If walls could talk…
Now the painting begins
The new back door is painted
And the new toilet room is built to replace this one holer
Toilet room door
And the new toilet
Lights are replaced
And the painting is finished
Looking to the back

Side and front wall
New front door and notice board
