We have finally settled into our new building, this is our new home for history.
Temporary office space during construction, otherwise known as “the Eagles nest”
ADA “family” restroom comes together
New platform around the annex
Floors being stripped and refinished on 1st floor
Floor of library space being reinforced to carry weight of bookshelves
The dreaded “sand pit” at the elevator location that required steel piers be drilled into bedrock 50 feet down to make an anchor for the elevator shaft.

So, phase I of the project has ended. What hasn’t ended is our promise to you, the people of Southeast Ohio that we will work hard each and every day to improve, expand and bring Southeast Ohio’s history to life. Come and visit us and see what all this hard work has produced!
Thanks for sharing the ride!
