FANLIGHT RESTORATION
“I saw the fanlight of a great doorway, and a Palladian window above…”
Lemon Hill’s entrance fanlight has always struck visitors, but after 200 years the original window needed conservation. Historic preservation experts from the Fairmount Park Conservancy removed and disassembled the window, preserving the original lead and glass elements and replacing some of the floral decoration that had been lost to history. The newly restored window was re-installed in May of 2005.
