Tremont House Restoration

below are a few of the recent projects restoring the tremont house

Progress lately on the Tremont House was concentrated on the first floor interior. Finally, we have most of the exterior work done and are ready to work inside preparing for our museum which will highlight Bellevue's history.

In May, a dumpster was filled with trash, unwanted items and construction debris which accumulated in the basement and on the first floor. That made such a difference! The room now seems much larger and airier.

Once we got the room cleaned out, a crew from The Finishing Touch installed insulation and drywall on the front wall of the first floor. We can actually hear each other without shouting over the traffic noise. It is remarkable how much quieter the room is now. This will be especially important when we open the museum.

We are considering options for walls, lighting, flooring, a fire alarm system, etc. There is still a lot to do, but we can now envision what it will eventually look like. We look forward to finally being able to share with the community the items that people have so generously donated which demonstrate Bellevue's rich heritage.

Bellevue Historical Society has moved another step (or 2) closer

If you haven't been down downtown and noticed the lighting on the front of the Tremont House, make it a point to take note.

The Bellevue Historical Society will be posting membership/sponsorship information soon.

We have a long way to go and optomistic for the future of this grand building.
