Front of Building Before and After

The Drummond Museum was first opened in 1996. After the initial remodeling of the previous Post Office building, the building had not been changed. While the structure of the building is important for its place in history, the windows and signs could be updated.

Flooring Removed

All the flooring was removed because of the water damage.

Framing the walls

Carpenters and Electricians

It was important for the electricians and carpenters to work together. Bobby (electrician) Eddie and Ted (carpenters) spent a great deal of time discussing the layout and the process.

Window Restorer

Old Home Rescue sent a window restorer out to restore the windows that are currently in place. We do not have an exact date on the age of the windows but our best guess is that they were installed after the west side fire of 1930.

New back door

As the men were working on framing the walls they discovered that the wood had rotted around the current door and the hinges were rusted. This was an expense we hadn't anticipated but we bought a new door and it was a much needed improvement.
