RAMSEY TOWN HALL, Ramsey, Minnesota Fib Recommendations The cracks in the concrete should be sealed. Additionally, the joint where the bricks meet the concrete should be sealed. If there are future plans to remove the concrete, the following is recommended. The concrete should be removed carefully as to not damage the garden level window lintels. The brick veneer should be reattached to the wood stud wall, and damaged bricks should be replaced. We recognize that the use of the concrete was a solution to an issue. However, we strongly recommend that no new concrete is installed, and other solutions are pursued in the future. ANL 3. Entry Hall & Main Room The entry hall is the first room inside the Ramsey Town Hall. It is a small room that contains the stairwell to the basement and leads to the main room. The main room is a large open space just off the entry hall that was formerly the classroom of the original school house. In both room, the conditions of the walls and floors are similar and, therefore, will be addressed together. Walls The original walls were removed and replaced with fiber boards during a previous renovation. The fiber boards have since been replaced with modern gypsum board on the top two thirds of the wall and particle board on the bottom third, presumably to recreate the original wainscoting. There is also a large rectangular hole cut in the gypsum board above the front door. On the interior, the walls appear structurally sound and have no apparent water damage. The gypsum board has been tapped and mudded, but not been treated with a primer. As evidenced by rodents and loose insulation, the exposed gas line on the west wall of the main room is not sealed or insulated correctly. _,,re 31— Entry Hall Figure 32 — Opening Above Entry Ramsey Town Hall 11
