Hey, Look Us Over! Great progress is being made on 'the old Queen' this summer. Volunteers have scraped, sanded, and primed the spindles and handrails preparing for a final coat of paint in the autumn. The most visible progress, however, is the installation of the faux stone skirting along much of the house. Charles Brown, owning the local sawmill, had a seemingly infinite supply of fine, straight-grained fir and chose to simulate the appearance of stone including mitred corners for the skirting. The wood was milled by Jim Moore of Monitor Wood Products and has been installed by volunteer Bob Pendleton and carpenter Steve Kiser, whose excellent work was paid for by a grant from the Marion Cultural Development Corporation with Oregon Cultural Trust funds. This continued support from MCDC is heartily appreciated by the Santiam Heritage Foundation. Volunteers Judy and Rick Frohreich have completed the painting of the faux stone. Stop by and have a look! |
