West Freehold Schoolhouse reconstruction finished; porch repair estimated at $13,000
Summary
The commission recorded that reconstruction and installation of the West Freehold Schoolhouse is complete; remaining interior painting and shutter installation are scheduled, and Leiffert Home Improvement estimated about $13,000 to replace the front porch flooring and columns.
The Freehold Township Historic Preservation Commission recorded at its July 20 meeting that reconstruction and installation of the West Freehold Schoolhouse are finished. The minutes say a painter is scheduled for the first week of August 2026 and that interior repainting will follow. Shutters are being manufactured for installation in fall 2026. The minutes also note a security-system transformer shows a burn mark and has been unplugged pending an electrician’s inspection.
The commission discussed the next project: replacing the front porch flooring and columns. Leiffert Home Improvement provided an estimate of about $13,000 to replace the porch flooring and columns and to repaint/stain. Commission member Michael Berman said he will check with Jim Lapointe of Freehold to obtain a comparative price; the minutes add the commission may be able to reuse stored salvage columns from Oakley Farm to reduce costs.
