Site-walk flags moisture, roofing and safety needs at Gilmanton Old Town Hall
Summary
A Joint Loss Committee site-walk report found moisture at the Old Town Hall back entrance, aging roof and tower shingles, and multiple safety and accessibility concerns; it lists prioritized repairs and vendors to contact.
The Joint Loss Committee’s site-walk report, submitted by Town Administrator Heather Carpenter, documents multiple maintenance and safety issues at Gilmanton’s Old Town Hall observed during the June 29 inspection. Key infrastructure notes include a roof showing signs of age with tower shingles needing repair and a generator installed in 2025 that powers lights, heat, water and bathrooms but not the stove.
The report says the back entrance threshold and entry carpet were wet and that a paper towel placed with pressure left a yellowish/brown stain, prompting a recommended inspection of portico flashing and additional flooring quotes. The committee also recommended obtaining quotes for a full roof replacement and a separate estimate for tower shingle repairs; spot work had previously been funded through the LCHIP grant. Other items noted include a septic pump completed in spring 2026 and a parking lot paved prior to 2008 that is usable but showing age.
