This decorative, sawed-wood screen normally graces the side of the chimney at Mia's Purcell-Cutts House. The elements and, more recently, aggressive squirrels have sadly damaged the screen, which is now in need of conservation to stabilize it and repair the squirrel-chewed areas. MACC's object conservators will clean the piece overall, consolidate wood losses, reattach collected fragments where possible, reconstruct lost elements, and tone fills to match the original creosote-stained cypress.
