Description

Join us for our annual Historic Window Restoration Workshop & Demonstration at a 1920s bungalow just down the street from Rockhurst University (5410 Tracy Ave). Learn how to repair, replace & reseal beautiful 100-year-old windows from scratch to help your home be more energy efficient.

This house is one of three recently transferred from Rockhurst University to Community LINC Housing (CLH) for renovating and connecting with a qualified buyer. They are part of CLH's mission to increase access and decrease barriers for low-income families seeking affordable, sustainable homeownership.

CLH is proud to host a variety of sustainable renovation providers and advocates during its work to renovate as responsibly as possible. Neighbors, RU students, preservation, renovation and affordable housing advocates alike are all welcome to join the workshop. A team of roughly 6 is needed to complete the actual hands-on restoration work, but the house will be open all day to visitors interested in this great opportunity to learn and connect.

Sponsored by Historic Green, Community LINC Housing, Taylor Original Wood Window Restoration & Repair, EnergySmart Institute.
