HAMPSTEAD — Work to repair and restore the Old Meeting House will continue.
The Historic District Commission has contacted Robert Pothier of First Period Colonial in Kingston to continue work on the building. Pothier headed the restoration in the 1990s and started scraping and whitewashing the building two years ago.
He will continue that work until all the old, bubbled paint has been removed to help preserve the wood and get it ready for painting.
Several windows need repair. Rain is getting into the building and there's the potential for interior damage. The area where the bell tower meets the building also needs attention. Commission member Rob Morris said Pothier mentioned problems with the front doors and the stone step.
"Possibly (the step) has moved a bit, so we should take a close look at it," Morris said.
