Jim Shimkus volunteered to restore the weathervane. Here’s his plan for the work.

   The Restoration of the Cupola 

Although I’ve titled this page, Restoration of the Cupola, I’m not at all sure that any part of it that’s there now is from the original. It was in bad shape, and it may be that what was taken away could only be used as a pattern to rebuild a copy.
