👷Excuse our appearance👷‍♂️ This summer

👷Excuse our appearance👷‍♂️ This summer we're continuing maintenance on the castle & roundhouse up on the Highway. Any updates or repairs to the castle, which was built between 1935-1938, are being completed in a way that preserves it's historical integrity. One of our ongoing projects has been repointing the joints of the masonry on the castle in a way that mirrors its' original construction. We are refurbishing the windows of the roundhouse and also finishing a new roof while keeping their original designs. The windows in the roundhouse are being refurbished and the roof is being replaced. Similarly, we are also replacing the roof and windows in the castle while still keeping the original design. We're excited to get these improvements underway and share the rich historical significance of the Whiteface Veterans' Memorial Highway with you.
