(POSTE ANGLOPHONE) Heritage Window Conservation Intern – HeritageNL
Description
Heritage NL is interested in promoting the restoration and repair of wooden windows. One of the Registered Heritage Structures it has designated is the
Adam’s Cove Methodist School Hall, a historic two-storey wooden school, built between 1910 and 1914. Designed by John Ayre and built under foreman William Brennan, the Hall has a Palladian style and pressed-metal wall and ceiling coverings on the second floor interior. The building’s first-floor classrooms were used for more than 50 years and the second-floor hall was utilized by the local Methodist community for prayer and community events.
The local committee has partnered with Heritage NL on a window training workshop in the past, and has agreed to partner on this project as a working classroom, particularly with regard to window repair and sill replacement. Adam’s Cove Community Hall Inc. will provide space and materials as an in-kind contribution.
Tâche et responsabilités
The Heritage Window Conservation Intern will be trained on wood window repair; advanced wood repair; and on traditional NL carpentry practices.
