Preserving Nevada
Restoration of Building in Crescent

Crescent founded in 1865

On January 13th, 2004, Mark Henderson was advised of the poor condition of the posts that supported the cabin roof of the old building at the Crescent Site. It was determined that immediate roof stabilization needed to be accomplished.

On January 14th, 2004, Bob Hafey and Dennis Tallant did an amazing job constructing and installing supports for the two supporting beams that had split. It is mentioned in the report that this stabilization of the roof at that time was to be only a temporary fix for the problem.
To the left is a comparison between the structure in 1975 and 2004.

To the left you can see what a great job they did.
