OUTSET: This photo taken on July 29 shows all work done on the Cassville Democrat facade, with only paint on the new door and tint on the windows still to be finished. Funding for the project was provided by the Cassville Downtown Restoration Fund. INSET: In November 2024, the tin and old sign was removed from the upstairs of the Cassville Democrat, exposing the old stucco and loft windows. Kyle Troutman/ktroutman@cassville-democrat.com
On June 27, only a portion of brick remained unfinished, behind the lift around a new door installed at the Cassville Democrat’s office. The new door is expected to pave the way for a possible new business or retail space in the first floor of the office. Kyle Troutman/ktroutman@cassville-democrat.comBy June 21, much of the brick was taking shape on the front of the Cassville Democrat office. Kyle Troutman/ktroutman@cassville-democrat.comCrews for Kent Greenwood Plastering were on June 18 beginning the brick-laying process on the Cassville Democrat facade. At left, crews installed new EFIS, and other portions of the building, like the lean-to tin, received a new coach of paint. Kyle Troutman/ktroutman@cassville-democrat.comHaving completed the EFIS on the pilasters of the Cassville Democrat building, a mesh was put in place by June 10 in anticipation of split brick installation. Kyle Troutman/ktroutman@cassville-democrat.comThe first layer of work on the Cassville Democrat facade stood out on June 3, a robin’s egg blue waterproofing material that covered the building nearly a week before EFIS and split brick installation began.
