Sunday Openhouses
November 30, 2025 December 7, 2025
Wood Block Center’s 2025 progress has been incredible! The volunteer team worked inside and out and at every level. Please stop by Sunday afternoons from 1-3pm November 30th and December 7th to see the amazing progress yourself.
Classic Street/North side brick and stone on the ground floor has been repaired and repointed. The remainder of a partial fire escape was carefully removed with its decorative cast iron elements preserved for future use in the restoration.
The stunning Art Deco light fixtures in the South Hall were cleaned and rewired with dimmable LEDs illuminating this space for the first time in decades! The 16-foot-high vaulted ceilings in the North Hall have had large areas of missing plaster and broken lathe repaired along with a collapsed section of the bold decorative cornice. A hatch has been installed to access areas above the entire hall to enable future electrical and hvac work.
The public restroom on the second floor is completely updated!
During the openhouses, there will be a sale exhibition of the wildlife art of Hoosick Falls’ own Wayne Trimm for those with holiday shopping lists as well as a quilt raffle for warming up the winter! If those dates don’t work for you email civicure@gmail.com to schedule a visit.
