National Society of the Colonial Dames in New Hampshire (Moffat-Ladd House and Garden)

The Moffatt-Ladd House and Garden will conserve 46 of the house’s windows to preserve the fabric of the building and to protect the 18th- and 19th-century furnishings, paintings, and wallcoverings exhibited within it. Staff and consultants will work together to remove and carefully steam-clean the sashes, remove and repair glass, and re-glaze then reinstall each window. The public will learn about the work’s progress through the museum’s website as well as special signs and banners, and the museum will host students from Portsmouth High School and North Bennett Street School (Boston) for workshops and site visits. The consultants will also offer workshops on window conservation and restoration for the general public to share knowledge acquired through this project more broadly.
