The commission recorded that the schoolhouse is slated to begin a phase‑one renovation in mid‑August. Josepha McGeever Bruznicki said the original handmade spiked nails were holding the clapboards and that the clapboards remain in good condition.
Michael Krenesky asked whether the chimney would be repaired. "MK asked if the chimney would be repaired. JMB replied that the chimney will be taken down due to deterioration, a non-functioning chimney replica will be built to keep the building weather tight. MK suggested if any bricks are salvageable to use them in the patio area." The minutes indicate salvaged bricks could be reused for a patio if available; no contractor or budget details were recorded.
