Summary

Tony Connaghan installed a new cedar-shingle roof over a rubber membrane at the Beaver Island Marine Museum. The article said the Beaver Island Historical Society building committee had met eleven times to consider proposals, many of which involved jacking and straightening the building.

Evidence limits

The Beacon reports the roof work and committee process. It does not provide a contract, inspection, structural report, or complete account of the museum’s building history.
