The Lundy Project

This Blog is dedicated to reviving the life and material legacy of one of America's pioneering human rights activists, who began his youthful antislavery calling in Southeastern Ohio, in 1815, along the river banks of the Ohio, in the local towns of St. Clairsville and then Mt. Pleasant, Ohio.

The Lundy Roofing Project Begins

As of today Sunday December 4th the Lundy will never b quite the same.  At least the same as it has been for the past fifty years or more. Why?   Because the old three layered roof which had failed over a decade or more ago began to be removed and new support and sealing wrap is being wrapped around the new areas in preparation of obtaining a brand new metal roof.
This is the first major step forward on the actual structural renovation itself.  The metal roof to be put n place is going to accelerate the entire home renovation by leaps and bounds.  Multiple benefits will flow from getting this new woodwork completed along w the new roof including the most important of drying out the entire house and making it for the first time in over twenty five years very secure against the elements and will stop completely the severe water damage that has taken such a toll on the entire structure.

This quiet but major first step undertaken today represents a new milestone in the restoration of this amazing historical national landmark home.

Exciting times on this project lay just ahead...
