Repair and replacement of log and shingle siding - in some cases the original materials are coaxed back into place with improved fasteners, and when this isn't possible it is replaced by hand tooling new siding to match the original piece. The work of cutting and shaping the new pieces is taking place right in front of the Kolb Garage, where the public can view the process. GCA Photo by Terri Attridge.
Project
During 2013 and 2014, with help from donors, GCA is in the process of rehabilitating this valuable piece of Grand Canyon History in order to keep it available for generations to come.
