Carpenters, from left, Colin Shand, Jarrett Bell and Jamie Smeets of Steeplejack Services erect scaffolding at Sarnia’s iconic Lawrence House, which is undergoing numerous repairs.

Built by a lumber merchant in 1892, the downtown arts centre is getting new cedar shakes on the second-floor turret and new paint on its porches and window frames.

Three stained glass windows are being removed for repair and a lighting audit undertaken.
