Event Details:
Historical Society president Wes Gannaway will discuss the restoration of the Richards Building. After the sale of the building in 2019, a major project has been to eliminate the passage of moisture through the original brick walls that has resulted in damage to interior walls.
During the interior work, new knowledge has come to light, answering many of the questions about the original construction. Gannaway has been involved with the building prior to the first restoration project in the early 2000s and has been president of the Historical Society for much of the organization’s involvement with the building.
