Beauport Roof Replacement

The four outbuildings to Beauport, the Sleeper-McCann House, were last reroofed in the early 1980s and are now showing signs of advanced deterioration. The wood shingles are cupping and splitting and two of the buildings (Tool Shed and Gate House) leak during heavy rains. The roofs are at the end of their lifespan and need replacement before moisture infiltration causes severe damage.

Beauport Window Conservation

Beauport, Historic New England's most-visited house museum, is a premiere travel destination in the City of Gloucester, a nationally important historic property and a unique educational and cultural resource. The building's location on a natural rock ledge directly above the Atlantic Ocean places it directly in the path of surface water runoff. Current restoration efforts, including the window conservation project, will prevent future moisture penetration, remove potential threats to the building, and mitigate further damage to the historic fabric and collections.
