Note ID: | MS97 | Weather Conditions: | sunny, low 70's | Report Author: | Mary Harding Sadler | Report Date: | 4/26/1999 | Location: | Mansion - Basement - Mansion Director (E/R) | Work Type: | Demolition | Notes: | In Mansion Director's Office we observed the newly-stripped door opening on the north wall (door casing and frame were removed in the current demolition effort). Evidence seems to indicate a historic window-sized opening enlarged to create the existing doorway. Painted brick jambs extended only from the ceiling to about 4' above the finish floor. Brick from the floor to 4' above the finish floor was rough, apparently because it had been cut and patched to create the larger opening. |

Note ID: | MS92 | Weather Conditions: | sunny, low 70's | Report Author: | Mary Harding Sadler | Report Date: | 4/26/1999 | Location: | Mansion - First Floor - Dining Room (E/R) | Work Type: | Floor Conservation | Notes: | Damaged flooring is being removed from Dining Room. This flooring is considerably (about 1/2") thicker than the Stair Hall, Ladies Parlor, and Old Governor's Office flooring. The Dining Room floors are laid in a simple basket weave pattern, where the other parquetry is herringbone. Structural problems in the Dining Room include settlement on either side of a north-south "ridge" defined by a wall in the kitchen below. The problem, evidenced by a continuous crack between squares of parquetry, has been brough to the attention of the Architect. |

Herringbone flooring can be removed by pivoting the individual boards, using a small pry bar. This flooring is relatively thin, particularly from the tongue to the finish surface. The shape of the flooring pieces doesn't match the pieces to be replaced. The conservator's work is more challenging than anticipated. |
