From October 3, 2020, Wicked Beverly (Massachusetts).
The City of Beverly recently completed the exterior and interior restoration of this piece of the city's history. It is one of Beverly's most unique historical structures but over the many years it has stood, it was sinking into deeper disrepair.
The project spanned over four years from 2017 to 2020. Lance Daly was instrumental in getting this done. A total of $244,500 was raised in grants and donations thanks to efforts by the city and the Massachusetts Historical Commission's Preservation Projects Fund, Beverly Crossing and the Essex National Heritage Foundation.
The powder House is the second-oldest city-owned property. The restoration itself took five months and included repointing masonry and brick replacement, replacing the existing the existing asphalt shingle roof with a historically wood shingle roof, replacing the wooden floor, adding historically accurate siding to two interior walls and outside landscaping as well as improvements for public use.
