The Mansion's exterior is being restored by Ageless Treasures,

a local company, through a facade grant from Urban Salisbury

to the Friends of Poplar Hill Mansion.  

 

Above, the East side is painted the final coat June, 2010. 

Below, the shutters are being painted a very dark green.

 

 

The chimneys are being repaired

and repointed through the

same grant and by approval of Maryland Historic Trust.

 

The bucket truck is being used

to reach the peaks of the

Mansion which are over 42'

from the ground.

 

 

 

 

The scaffolding, in the photo

 below, in the rear of the Mansion is used by the brick mason.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The wood is being carefully inspected and the siding is being replaced with

cypress as it would have been used in the original builing of the Mansion

with construction beginning in 1795.

 

 

 

 If you look carefully in the following 2 photographs you will see

Roman numerals scratched into the beams to note their proper

 placement for support.

 

 

We understand that during this restoration the Mansion does not look its best. 

Thank you for being patient, as the finished product will be well worth it.

Special thanks to Allan Hope of Urban Salisbury, James Ireton, Jr., Mayor

of Salisbury, Jeff Smith and his crew from Ageless Treasures, and the Board

of Directors and Friends of Poplar Hill Mansion.
