Nichols Memorial Library, Kingston, NH

The Nichols Library is on the National Register of Historic Places. With its beautiful stone exterior and thoughtful details throughout, it’s easy to understand why the town is prioritizing its preservation. It’s an important part of Kingston’s history and recently celebrated its 125th anniversary.

We’ve been working with the Heritage Commisssion for a long time to line up approvals and funding for the restoration of these windows. The delicate lead holding it together was ready for replacement. There were countless broken pieces to be repaired or replaced. On top of that, they were incredibly dirty on the interiors from years of soot buildup.

In early 2022, we did a single window, and in early 2023, returned to take out the remaining 10. We completed the restoration and reinstalled them this Spring.
