The most immediate need was the replacement and reconstruction of the aging roof. As the original timbers had nearly three quarters of a century of exposure to the elements, the canopy over the grandstand was judged by contractors to be on the verge of becoming structurally unsound.

Construction methods have changed significantly over seven decades, but our team and contractor worked with a local sawmill to produce custom rough-sawn timbers that matched the original aesthetic of ballpark and built the new canopy in such a way that it nearly identically resembled the original roof.

To compliment the replacement, dedicated volunteers worked to completely repaint the entire stadium, giving the old wooden grandstand a completely renewed look. Coupled with the reconstructed roof and a fresh coat of paint, the ballpark had new life to it once again.
