Shutter Shop on Shore Road Volunteer Restoration Workshop
This 1840 Greek Revival mansion features interior shutters -- sadly in need
of repair -- that help protect from summer's sun and winter's chill. Participants
in the workshop will learn how to safely remove lead paint, prepare and paint wood
surfaces, restore old hardware, and more under the guidance of
preservation/restoration specialists.
