One of Agassiz' oldest buildings is getting a makeover. The Agassiz-Harrison Museum and Visitor Information Centre is undergoing a renovation throughout the coming weeks, in time for the scheduled season opening May long weekend.
With worn carpet and tired walls, the historic building in downtown Agassiz will be spruced up with new paint and flooring. The museum's last paint job was in 2003 when it was moved back to its original location from the research centre. However, it has never had a complete paint job since the 1980's when it first opened as a museum. While some of the museum has original flooring - the gift shop and upstairs - the main hall downstairs has carpet from the 1980's. The carpeted area will soon feature vinyl planking instead.
The funding comes through the revenue the District of Kent made from the filming of a television series here last year. Using Agassiz as the backdrop for Wayward Pines provided the District with an extra $309,500 in revenue. Council voted unanimously to give $22,500 of that funding to the Agassiz Historical Society. The remainder of the funds are being held in reserve, to be spent on a legacy project.
"We're very appreciative the District is supporting this project," says Judy Pickard, manager at the Agassiz Harrison Historical Society.
The museum was originally a Canadian Pacific Rail station, built in 1893. In the 1970s, CP started to tear down its old stations. The District of Kent was able to save the local building by moving it off CP land and out to the research station. When the District took ownership over the land that is now Pioneer Park, they brought the museum back to its old location to anchor the park back in 2003.
The colours will be similar to the neutral tones in the museum now, with perhaps an accent wall to "update things a bit," says Pickard.
"We want to keep the heritage theme," she assures.
A hardworking group of about 15 museum volunteers worked every day last week to move every item out of the main hall.

Agassiz-Harrison Museum gets a makeover
The remodeling of the 7,423-square-foot main house and accessory structures at 360 Mountain Home Road in Woodside is evolving, though with fewer surprises than was the case 10 months ago.
Planning Director Jackie Young and the Architectural and Site Review Board agreed to a set of revisions to site plans on March 2, Ms. Young said. The town's conversation with the applicant, SV Projects LLC, has been going on since December.
The result is a modified version of what had been "much more formal and intense" proposals that were "inconsistent with several aspects of the Residential Design Guidelines," Ms. Young said. "We found acceptable compromises."
Among the compromises: front gates will have a more rural style, three sets of stairs will be less formal, exterior lighting will be set to a minimum, and a pool patio structure and a garden structure will have bronze siding and roofs, Ms. Young said.
The applicant had proposed using the same stone siding and slate roofs planned for the main house. But that would have complicated an observer's ability to distinguish the main house and accessory structures, creating a perception of a more massive complex, staff said.
All existing upward-pointing exterior lights must go, and lighting in the basement lightwell and garden structure must be kept to a minimum, per the town's codes, Ms. Young said. The pylons at the entrance gates originally had metal caps, but those, too, must go.
The applicant agreed to these changes, but is planning to ask the Planning Commission for "a height exception" to overturn the ASRB's recommendation against a proposal for two more dormers on the roof of the main house, Ms. Young said.
The process is orderly, unlike in May 2014. Town staff visited the site and were surprised to find the top two floors of the main house elevated on steel beams above an empty space where the first floor and basement had been.
Permission had been given to elevate the house, but for the purpose of removing the basement only, not the first floor or its framing. Ms. Young issued a stop-work order on July 3.
After much discussion, the Planning Commission split on the matter on July 31, leaving it unresolved. The applicant appealed to the Town Council, which unanimously granted the appeal Sept. 9. Work resumed.

Woodside, developer find compromises on mansion
Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) March 12, 2015
Petri Plumbing and Heating, Inc., a leading plumbing company serving Brooklyn since 1906, recognizes March as Flood Awareness Month by offering useful tips to prepare homeowners for the flood season. According to the New York Daily News, last years torrential downpour not only threatened lives, but it caused structural damage to the Brooklyn Bridge. With the memory of last years damages and the realization that flood season is on the horizon, Brooklyn homeowners are encouraged to take proper action in order to protect their homes, belongings, and loved ones.
Brooklyn is definitely not exempt from the risk of flood damage, and we got a taste of that last July, said Petri. Especially with all of the old homes in this city, it is important we prepare for the unthinkable.
In order to take preventative measures for the oncoming flood season, Petri Plumbing offers home plumbing inspections to safeguard each homes sewer lines against the threat of a potential flood. In the event that preventative measures were not taken or were not enough, Petri Plumbing also offers 24 hour emergency plumbing as well.
Sewer lines can be affected by backups throughout flood season, which can lead to seepage and a dangerous living space as a result. In an effort to avoid this condition, backflow prevention systems should be installed, replaced, or inspected in order to ensure all sewer lines stay clear. When sewer lines are clear, a home is free of dangerous gasses and bacteria. For optimal performance, yearly backflow prevention tests are also encouraged.
More often than not, the site of water damage and mildew is located in the basement, said Petri. We can prevent water from coming into your Brooklyn home by installing a sump pump in the basement so that the groundwater can be safely collected and discharged from the property.
Some additional routine precautions residents can take include investing in a flood insurance policy, elevating appliances twelve inches, anchoring appliances that cannot be elevated, and storing high value items in higher places.
