SALEM – Some big changes are
taking place at the Salem Courthouse Community Center.
Scaffolding has been erected,
hard hats are being donned, and
work will commence shortly on
the next round of restoration on
this historic building. This phase
of restoration will include new
gutters and intricate work on the
cornices and roof support system
in an effort to help preserve the
Courthouse for future generations.
Thanks to a $200,000 New
York State Environmental Protec-
tion Fund grant with a $200,000
cash match from an anonymous
donor, the multi-phase project
is moving forward. The Historic
Preservation Architectural firm of
John G. Waite Associates, oversaw the public bidding process
which came to a successful conclusion.
In late April, the contract was
awarded to Mid-State Industries
(MSI) located in Schenectady,
New York. With over 40 years of
construction and historic building restoration experience, MSI is
eager to begin the project. Steve
Mayhew, Project Superintendent
for MSI has stated “in historic
restoration, one determines the
building’s period of greatest significance and performs the actions
and processes necessary to restore, recover and reveal the architectural design and fabric of that
particular period, while protecting
its heritage value”. It appears a
wise decision has been made, and
our Courthouse is in good hands.
When you are in the area, stop by,
look up, and check the progress!
