The exterior painters started as soon as the new roof was finished. Move your mouse over the photo above to see the new look of the dark chocolate color. This is a very close match to what appears to be the original color that we found just above the wood when we scraped away the multiple layers of paint that had been added to the La Salle over the years.
The new roof is going up. Unlike some of our previous projects, no remnants of the original roof existed to help us pick the type and color material to use. We decided, with help from the Texas Historical Commission, to use a green shingle that is common on many roofs throughout the Fairmount-Southside Historic District.
