Contractors are nearly finished re-roofing the 1895-built Carriage Barn at Waveny and soon will begin replacing the old slate roofing at Lapham Community Center, officials say. The town projects both are being paid out of the fiscal year 2015 capital budget, with the Carriage Barn job pegged at $225,000 and Lapham at $340,000 (see page 39 of the adopted budget here). The Lapham roof sections in need of replacement will get the same slate as the original, with identical colors and design, according to Bill Oestmann, superintendent of buildings with the New Canaan Department of Public Works. With a bid opening Thursday, the process of getting major capital repairs done at Waveny House also will begin, Oestmann said. The town for the current fiscal year approved $50,000 for an engineering and architectural renovation plan at the cherished town-owned structure.
