Calendar

Thomas Brown, master woodwright, will be this year’s speaker and will discuss restoring and replacing historically significant architectural elements of older homes.

His business is capable of providing hand-crafted wooden doors, windows, mouldings, entry surrounds and mantels, among other distinctive and decorative wooden components. Mr. Brown can match design elements already present but in need of refurbishment or can craft original elements to bring character and beauty to a newer home.

Thomas is well-qualified to answer questions about renovations and home maintenance. In particular, he is happy to discuss repairing and replacing double hung sash windows, a common problem in older homes, as well as repairing and replacing exterior doors. To make this meeting as informative as possible, please send your areas of interest or specific questions for Mr. Brown to rrlraia@comcast.net.
