Isn’t it incredible how they can restore original pieces of the Slave Quarters? Using LiquidWood and WoodEpox, our construction guys from Rogers Building Corporation are able to fill in spots of old wood to reuse the boards in the house.

Our second story floors were not in the best condition and sadly had to be ripped up. Check out the difference between the original second story floorboards pictured above and some of the updated floors. At least we won’t have to worry about falling through these new ones!
Here are some more pictures of the restoration so far: Ongoing restoration on the second floor of the slave quarters. The room on the right has had new flooring and support put in already, courtesy of Rogers Building Corporation. The original floor on the left will be torn up and replaced soon. Check the gallery on our Behind the Scenes page for more restoration photos.
