CONCORD, N.H. — Ratty. Moldy. Neglected. Gross.
First lady Susan Lynch remembers being struck by the sad condition of New Hampshire’s official executive residence the first time she saw it a decade ago. But it wasn’t until last week that entering the house moved her to tears....
The renovations were more than cosmetic. A bathroom was added on the ground floor to be accessible to visitors with disabilities, the security system was upgraded, and a new climate control system was added to protect the antique furniture.
Before the renovations, rodents and bees were a problem, the porch roof leaked, and the cellar was so full of mold that several antique chairs stored there disintegrated when they were picked up, Lynch said....
Fund-raising was a challenge given the recession, Susan Lynch said.
