Join us on Tuesday, October 29th at noon for an exciting update on the Silo project since our last virtual conversation in April. As you may have already heard, we recently engaged with the Philadelphia-based Heritage Conservation Collective to perform a cleaning of the 1966 Silo in order to determine the stability of the painted surface and locate all the problem areas in order to remediate our ongoing moisture issue. The treatment was more successful than anyone imagined. Over 60 years of buildup on the exterior of the Silo was removed to reveal the vibrant original colors of Esherick’s one-of-a-kind architectural artwork! 

We’ll be hosting a conversation about the project with WEM’s own Building Preservation Specialist, Andy Gustine and Andrew Fearon, a principle of Heritage Conservation who brought his skills and expertise to successfully treat this unique structure.

This is a free online event; advance reservations are required. There will be time for Q&A at the end of the conversation. Please register below to receive instructions on how to join us! If able, please consider a $5 donation to support our ongoing programs. Donate HERE.

We look forward to seeing you there!
