Restoration of Tudor Revival Lozenge Glass Windows
Join us in preserving our historic house museum's legacy!
Your support is needed to restore four magnificent Tudor Revival Lozenge style windows in Grace Caldwell's Bedroom, nestled on the third floor of our iconic Richardsonian Romanesque mansion. These windows, installed by the Caldwell Family in 1906, showcase the finest Gothic and Tudor revival architecture of their time. Help us safeguard this unique piece of history and continue our commitment to preserving the innovative spirit of the decorative arts movement.
The four windows are in varying stages of deterioration primarily caused by the ongoing onslaught of weather and lack of proper maintenance in the past. The main steps of repair include first removing all four windows to assess the amount of damage incurred to the deteriorating wooden frames, then determining how much of the original structure can be preserved and replacing what cannot be salvaged. All leaded glass panels will be removed and restored separately while the frames are being repaired. Once the work is completed the panes will be returned to their frames, which will have been treated with wood preservative, and reinstalled and tested to ensure optimal performance regarding opening, closing, and locking.
Elaine Caldwell's Garden
2025 Replanting History Campaign
This year, as part of Elaine Caldwell's Garden Campaign, the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum is excited to launch the "Replant History” initiative. Our goal is to restore the original historic hedgerow that once surrounded this cherished landmark. By donating, you’ll contribute to replanting a vital piece of our history and help preserve the beauty of the museum grounds for generations to come.
In recognition of your generous support, we will create a plaque to be installed on the property, honoring all those who helped us "replant history." Join us in this meaningful endeavor and make a lasting impact on the Conrad-Caldwell House Museum’s legacy.
Help us reach our goal of $5000 by donating today! With your help and generous donations, we can replant history!
