Pequot Library

Originally constructed in 1887, the Pequot Library was slated for a complete renovation, including new mechanical and electrical systems and renovation of many historical architectural details. All areas of exposed wood were brought back to their original finish by matching the original wood finish colors. Built-in shelves were removed, revealing older architectural details. Petra’s in-house millshop recreated the ornate wood mantelpieces, along with moldings and decorative architectural designs. Exterior work included roof re-flashing, gutter work, the replacement of clay tiles, and the repointing of leaking masonry.
