Brick Removal and Lintel Installation

Our milder winter this year and generous donations are making it possible for work to continue on restoring the Thompson House. Here are pictures of brick removal and a newly installed lintel. Thank you for your contributions, EVERY amount helps move this forward.


In the photo above you can see how a new cement lintel, at the top of the photo, helps support the structure.

Seen on the right is a picture of a wooden frame built by Thompson House Friend, Gary Dolan which is used to pour cement lintels. Gary further donated his skills by welding rebar frames for each of these cement lintels also in this photo.
