Cooper's Shop

​The lower level of the Cooper's Shop was cleared out in 2014. The sagging keystone of the massive fireplace inside was restored to its original position. In 2024, work began to repair and rebuild the stone walls. Power lines running close to the front of the building made completion of earlier restoration efforts impossible. Without a roof for so many years, the huge walls were beginning to crumble and give way. We are grateful to Delmarva Power Company for devising a solution that enabled the work to be accomplished safely.
