Scholar Painting & Restoration Case Studies: Deep River Town Hall

Challenge

Deep River‘s distinctive Town Hall was built in 1893 in a “flatiron” shape to conform to its

location, where Elm and Main Streets intersect diagonally. The building originally had businesses

and a post office (Which moved out in the 1960s) on the first floor, with town offices being on the

second floor. The third floor has an auditorium. The building’s granite foundation and the 1905

granite fountain outside were both donated by Samuel F. Snow in memory of his wife.

Solution

The building required stripping of all coating, lead stabilization, hazardous waste removal and

caulking.
