Following years of exposure to wind and rain, a wooden window in the garret of the Joshua Hempsted required repair to prevent futher damage. The third-floor space is believed to have been a sleep and work space used by Adam Jackson. Fink & Son Carpentry & Woodworking removed the original window, boarded the opening, and repaired the window frame. The restored window was then reinstalled.
It is crucial to maintain the integrity of the windows in the home to protect against moisture or weather-related damage so we can continue to share the story of Jackson, the enslaved man who lived and worked at the Hempsted Houses for more than three decades, in the place wherein he resided.
