Well friends, things are starting to really shape up at Fayville, and we have actually begun the intricate process of moving ourselves out of the dilapidated Flagg School.
Here are some snaps:
One of the new handicap accessibled bathrooms, complete with period tiled floor. You may think it odd to lead off with a picture of a bathroom, but after almost two years of porta-potties, the first flush of success was indescribably grand! |
Our brand new archives room, complete with a set of 25 filing cabinets free from the State’s surplus goods program! Thanks to Dr. Cynthia Koch and our state reps for directing us to this program! For the first time in our history we’ll have all our archives together in one climate controlled space! |
The long gallery for changing exhibitions—just missing the trim! |
The first-floor meeting room/small class space. This room is huge: 23′ x 15′, as is the new archives room next door. |
The 1911 hardwood floor (“there is nothing historic left at Fayville Hall”) in the second-floor Assembly Room re-emerges from a century of wear and grime |
Another view of the Assembly Room. The wrapped blue parcels are glass and brass-legged free-standing display cases donated by St. Marks. They will house special exhibits, and huge thank you to St. Marks for offering and then paying for delivery of these cases! |
The downstairs classroom takes shape. |
The restored grand staircase. Wow, again, “nothing historic left at Fayville says CPC.” |
The restored front facade awaiting its new entrance steps, complete with duplicates of original 1911 shutters. Looking for donations here to add the rest of the shutters! |
Thanks to the Historical Society for standing up for historical preservation and saving this building.
