Demolition Begins!
Hooray! The Jefferson project is officially under way. First order of business? Clean up.
The demolition scope includes removing a back staircase (which will eventually be rebuilt in kind), removing a lean-to “sleeping shack” tacked on the back (back from the “apartment days”), and removing layers of debris. If there is treasure to be found it will be in the root cellar…but, we’re not expecting anything.
It is no exaggeration to say that nearly everyone in town has been through the house — from rowdy teenagers to tenants to the curious.
In fact, our electrician lived on the ground floor as a kid!
