The restoration at The Shipman Mansion focused first on the roof to ensure a watertight structure and now has moved to the interior. The Roof - The roof restoration was a major effort and we are happy to announce that it is DONE! Through a combination of private donations (thank you!) and a grant from the 1772 Foundation and a Sandy Disaster Relief Grant for Historic Properties from the National Park Service and the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office, administered by the New Jersey Historic Trust, the slate roof with its rosettes is as beautiful as when it was new. Here are some pictures of our restored roof The Interior – The Shipman Mansion is also very grateful to have received donations (thank you!) and grants from The 1772 Foundation and the New Jersey Historic Trust that are being used to restore the interior and the windows. Attached are some before and after pictures. We are still in need of additional donations to complete the work that we hope to have completed by April 2019. Please see the Donations page if you would like to donate to the continued restoration of the Shipman Mansion. The Privy – The Shipman Mansion also received donations (thank you!) and a grant from the The New Jersey Cultural Trust to restore the historical privy on the property. The privy was described in the application for the National Register of Historic Places for the Red Dragon Canoe Club as a “double-sided, clapboarded outhouse. Capping the little building is a hipped roof. One side has two holes and the other side has three, and each side has its own entrance and window.” Below are some before and after pictures. As part of the grant, there was an archaeological investigation of the privy site.
