I helped restore the historic 1923 IOOF Building windows as part of The National Trust for Historic Preservation's HOPE Crew, carefully removing modern silicone, stabilizing ill-fitted panes, and applying traditional putty in situ. The project required precision, problem-solving, and adaptation to real-time challenges, including scaffolding logistics and material constraints. Through this work, I gained hands-on experience in wood and glass conservation, historic construction methods, and the narrative embedded in architectural details—extending the life of a building central to its community.
